What others are saying about Molly Moo

  • Samantha Billingham, Domestic Abuse Lived Experience Speaker

    I am extremely privileged to do the work that I do and even more so humbled by people such as the inspirational Deborah Ann ❤️ I am lucky enough to have been gifted a book that she has written, which in my opinion should be in all Primary Schools. It is aimed at 3-7 year olds. The book, Molly Moo and the Mean Dinosaur, uses toy characters to help children understand healthy relationships, coercive control and bullying. It encourages children to talk to an adult to keep safe. I've read this heartwarming book, which you can go and buy right now from Amazon 😍 Together, we are stronger.

    A great little book. Very easy for children to understand and relate to. A great resource for school to use when helping children who are dealing with a similar scenario to Molly.

  • Jayne Howell, HL Teaching Assistant

    This book was written well and children will understand that talking to others really helps.

  • Tom Ramsay-Smith, Teaching Assistant

    This book is absolutely essential in PSHE lessons for younger children. Debbie really understands how to explain the warning signs of coercive control through visual storytelling and creative characters in a way that children can truly understand.

    Highly, highly recommend!
