ARE YOU FEELING COLD, YUKI?

Description Yuki the snow monkey lives in Japan with his family and friends. He sometimes finds it hard to realise when his body is giving him signals, like when he is hungry or cold. Grandfather helps Yuki to understand what his ‘funny feelings’ mean, and what his brain is trying to tell him. This illustrated storybook will help children to build interoceptive awareness and gain an understanding of the body’s activities. It also includes further information for parents and carers, as well as downloadable activities and strategies for building interoceptive abilities. REVIEWS A fun and enlightening book to explain interception to children. Often such a misunderstood fundamental cause of many ‘out of sorts’ behaviours. Beautifully explained and Illustrated book to help everyone understand this vital concept. Sue Larkey, teacher, educator and author Yuki the snow monkey doesn’t notice his hunger, being cold or in need of the bathroom. This very accessible helps us understand our 8th sense, so we can notice and self-regulate. Told with honesty, acceptance and humour, this very useful book helps demonstrate what interception is and how to connect to it. Wenn B. Lawson (PhD) CPsychol This book is brilliant in its simplicity. It teaches lessons in self-awareness in such practical, personal and respectful ways. I could see each of my boys in Yuki. Each struggled with interception in his own way. What I love most is that intimate experiences of the human body (dealing with not making it to the bathroom) are discussed without shame. This is critical for our children growing up with neurodiversity minds. This book is instructional, insightful and compassionate. Brian R.
