No Longer Alone

This touching picture book subtly deals with big emotions such as loss, with an uplifting and hopeful message about being yourself and the importance of family and talking about worries. Told through the voice of a little girl who is labeled as quiet and shy, No Longer Alone follows her tumult of emotions as she navigates the world around her. But when she finally shares her feelings and tells her Dad all the things that are worrying her, she no longer feels so alone. Joseph's warm, authentic voice offers an insightful take on the way children feel and how they perceive the world and it's perfectly complemented by gorgeous artwork from a talented new illustrator.

Joseph Coelho is a performance poet, children's author, and playwright. His other picture books include Grandpa's Stories and A Year of Nature Poems, and he was included on the Guardian's 2018 list "Fresh Voices: 50 Authors You Should Read Now." Robyn Wilson-Owen is currently doing her MA in Children's Book Illustration, and previously worked as a theater set designer.
