My Little Squeak

A beautifully illustrated story of a little boy searching for his voice and finding it in an unexpected way. This book reminds little ones that even through anxiety and difference, with the help of a friend, joy can be found. ....

Note from the author Rebecca Tonks.

My Little Squeak is inspired by the most beautiful child who I came across during one of my school visits. The main character featured in my story is a little boy struggling to find his voice. With the help of an unexpected friend, he finds the confidence he needs.

The child behind this story really stayed on my mind and I felt it was important to write the book to show that even with difference and anxiety, happiness and fun can be found. Following all the challenges we've faced over the last couple of years with Covid-19, mental health, particularly in children, has become a much needed and important focus. By writing and illustrating this story, I hope other little ones with similar struggles, may not feel so isolated and different.
