REVIEWS

A fun and enlightening book to explain interception to children. Often such a misunderstood fundamental cause of many ‘out of sorts’ behaviours. Beautifully explained and Illustrated book to help everyone understand this vital concept.
Sue Larkey, teacher, educator and author
Yuki the snow monkey doesn’t notice his hunger, being cold or in need of the bathroom. This very accessible helps us understand our 8th sense, so we can notice and self-regulate. Told with honesty, acceptance and humour, this very useful book helps demonstrate what interception is and how to connect to it.

This book is brilliant in its simplicity. It teaches lessons in self-awareness in such practical, personal and respectful ways. I could see each of my boys in Yuki. Each struggled with interception in his own way. What I love most is that intimate experiences of the human body (dealing with not making it to the bathroom) are discussed without shame. This is critical for our children growing up with neurodiversity minds. This book is instructional, insightful and compassionate.
