Martha, No!

Reach for this book when you are navigating the 'spirited' years and need a humorous way to discuss boundaries without dampening your child's natural zest for life. It is the perfect choice for days when your little one's curiosity has led to a few too many 'no' moments, offering a chance to laugh together at the chaos of growing up. The story follows Martha Felicity Molly-Anne May, a whirlwind of energy who tests the patience of her nanny, Miss Harrington-Chive, through a series of public outings. Through rhythmic text and relatable mishaps at the park and museum, the book explores the tension between a child's desire for independence and the social expectations of the adult world.

This is a lighthearted tool for reinforcing manners while celebrating the vibrant, messy reality of childhood curiosity.
