Kasandra El Sheikh is an Australia based teacher, business owner, Speech Pathologist, and
the author of the release, ‘Trembling Hands’.
Working around the clock with children and young adults in all settings, Kasandra realized the need for more open conversations about
emotions and therefore aims to provide children’s books that she feels will create more
conversations.
Kasandra has also published a children’s book titled ‘Itsy Bitsy and her Colorful House’ which illustrates the importance of friendship and asking others for help in times of need.
‘Trembling Hands’ is a rhyming book designed to help parents, teachers, and carers open up conversations with children about anxiety and the overwhelming feeling of fear that they may feel.
‘Trembling Hands’ helps start the conversation enthusiastically and engagingly about what we can do as a collective to manage our emotions.
Also included are further teamwork activities that you can complete with your child/ren or class.
Itsy Bitsy lives in a house that is decorated in the colours of the rainbow. She has an indigo
table, yellow walls, a red bed, violet bricks, and green and orange flowers in her garden. In
fact, she has all the colours… except blue!
Itsy Bitsy realises she needs to add some blue and so she sets to work painting her ugly brown fence a beautiful, bright blue. But painting is tiring work… she needs help!
