One family. Two dens. And a whole lot of big feelings. A separate set of books for a harder subject, written with Angela Kent, an accredited mental health social worker.
Book one · by Tanzila Tareque and Angela Kent
When Mama Bear and Papa Bear tell Bea she will live in two different dens, she feels sad, mad, scared and confused, sometimes all before breakfast. With a candy jar at one den and a river at the other, Bea slowly finds that a family can have two front doors and still be a family.
A gentle story for children whose parents are separating, about feelings that are allowed and love that stays exactly the same.

About me
Hi, I’m Tanzila, a mum and the creator of Little Lessons.
I started writing children’s books from the little things I noticed in my own home: everyday moments, conversations and challenges that come with raising a young child. What began as a few simple ideas slowly became Little Lessons, a series designed to help children understand everyday experiences, talk about their feelings and build positive habits.
I’m not someone who always dreamed of becoming a children’s author. It started very naturally, from wanting to make something meaningful I could use with my own child. Along the way I realised these little ideas could be helpful for other families too.
Some of the most important lessons happen in very ordinary moments: at bedtime, around the dinner table, on the way to school. That’s what I hope to make with Little Lessons: simple, thoughtful books that children enjoy, and that give parents an easy way to start those conversations.
