Roland Koh grew up in Singapore and was raised as a child in a time where ‘talking about feelings’ was unfamiliar. It was over the years of training and career in counselling that he learned to be more emotionally aware and connected. He sees this as an essential factor to help relationships thrive.

He is now a counsellor by day and an author by night. This story is inspired from his previous job as an Outward Bound Instructor where he guided children and teens to see that ‘fear is not in the absence of courage’. His therapy work with children illuminates the importance of embracing vulnerability as a cornerstone to building resilience. He hopes parents, caregivers and educators will find this book useful as an entry point to engage children to talk about their intense feelings and learn healthy ways to work through them.
