"What a great way of teaching little kids that it's ok to ask for help!"

Book Bairn

"Written by the talented Wendy Meddour with fantastic illustrations by Carmen Saldana, this book is perfect for showing children not to be afraid of sharing how they really feel and speaking their truth regardless of how they might be seen by those around them."

Preneur World

"Brilliant and funny book... it has a great message about feeling able to be honest about how you really feel."

Harriet Muncaster, author of the Emerald series

Cleo is a COMPLETELY FINE camel. Really, everything is just great. Honestly. A sweltering hot day? Well, Cleo has never felt better! Is she thirsty? No really she's fine. A desert sandstorm? Not a problem, because Cleo is FINE (even while buried under two feet of sand). It's only when an ostrich who tells it like it is turns up that Cleo has the courage to admit that, just maybe, she's not fine at all.

Cleo the camel is just fine, thank you very much! Except that maybe she's not. A delightfully funny story about learning to admit when things aren't COMPLETELY FINE.

A hilarious story that teaches children that it's okay to admit you're struggling. A follow up to Howard the Average Gecko and Peggy the Always Sorry Pigeon, which, like Cleo the Completely Fine Camel, explore important well-being and relationship concepts through humour. Vibrant contemporary artwork from Carmen Saldaña.
