Our 5 Ways to Wellbeing books

The New Economics Foundation’s 5 Ways to Wellbeing is a long-established approach to improving physical and mental health through five acts: connect, keep learning, be active, take notice and give. So that children can access this approach in a meaningful and accessible way, our education team here at Raven have been inspired to create a series of 5 stories based on the 5 ways.

About the books

Published in 2024, our first series of books feature Tom, a lion, and his squirrel friends, Sid and Hazel. Tom and his friends learn how each way to wellbeing helps them feel good about themselves and their lives.

Did you know that the character, Tom, is already part of our product portfolio? Our Sleeping Lions biometric device centres around the user, enabling Tom the lion to calm down, lower his heart rate and fall asleep.

Audience

The Tom the Lion books are designed for young, newly independent readers, typically aged 5 to 8. Available in both English and Welsh, these stories provide an engaging, age-appropriate way to introduce key wellbeing concepts.
