No Longer Alone

A hopeful book about big emotions from the Waterstones Children’s Laureate, Joseph Coelho.

Told through the voice of a little girl who is labelled as quiet and shy, No Longer Alone follows her tumult of emotions as she navigates the world around her. But when she finally shares her feelings and tells her Dad all the things that are worrying her, she no longer feels so alone.

Joseph's warm, authentic voice offers an insightful take on the way children feel and how they perceive the world and it's perfectly complimented by gorgeous artwork from rising-star illustrator, Robyn Wilson-Owen.

Joseph Coelho is the 2022–2024 Waterstones Children’s Laureate.
