Sometimes Nelly really wants to do things...

...but something inside says no.

Not a naughty no. Not a stubborn no. A big, overwhelming NO.

When the world feels too loud, too fast, or just too much, Nelly finds it hard to move forward - even when she wants to.

With the help of patience, understanding, and a safe space, Nelly begins to learn that she can take small steps in her own time.A warm and reassuring story for children who feel overwhelmed by demands, and the grown-ups who walk beside them.
