Ray and the Rose-Coloured Glasses is a gentle and empowering story that helps children explore emotions, friendships, boundaries and trusting their instincts.

Written by Candace Davey, an integrative psychotherapist based in Cork, the story encourages children to recognise when a friendship or relationship may not feel right, understand that their feelings are important, and learn that they can trust their own experiences.

Through the story, children are encouraged to think about the difference between how someone appears and how they treat others, while opening the door to conversations with parents, teachers and other trusted adults about healthy relationships, personal boundaries and emotional safety.

A thoughtful resource for families, schools and anyone supporting children to develop emotional awareness, confidence and healthy interpersonal relationships.

Because what matters most isn’t how someone looks… it’s how they treat you.
