Albert, a Robin and a Parrot called Harold
Albert is a story about a boy who has become anxious. He has started to forget his friends and the fun he used to have playing outside. Fortunately, help is at hand. A colourful parrot called Harold comes to stay and teaches Albert how to communicate with other birds and the animals that live outside. Guided by his parrot friend and encouraged by a brave robin, Albert regains confidence to step outside and live his life to the full.
Although a story primarily for children (6 to 8), Albert, a Robin and Parrot called Harold is intended to be relatable to anyone who has suffered from anxiety and provide reassurance that help is at hand, often in unexpected ways. The main message of this story is that support is always available if you reach out to talk, as well as the importance of listening.
