The Invisible Bruise

A story about bullying, courage and healing the hurts no one can see

Ages 6–12 · £24.90 printed · £9.90 e-book

A gentle, powerful story for children who have experienced bullying or who feel invisible, left out, or not good enough. Through Emma's story, kids learn that they are never alone, that it is never their fault, and that their feelings matter.

Psychological impact

Shame survives in silence. A child who cannot tell the story of what happened stores it as a belief about themselves: 'there is something wrong with me'. This book gives the experience words, affirmations and a safe place on paper — turning a private verdict into a shared story, which is how self-worth is rebuilt.

For the parent

It opens the conversation your child may never start alone. You get the signals to watch for, the words that reassure, and a way to stand beside them without minimising or panicking.
