Felix The Fox And His Awesome Odd socks is about a yellow fox who wears square glasses and rocks odd socks
Felix has been made to believe that this isn't how foxes should be, but he desperately wants to fit in and be the same as everyone else.
It is not until he meets a bird with a broken wing and one blue eye, that he realises how differences do not make him any less awesome
With stress and mental health issues being on the rise in younger children raising issues of feeling different or inferior at a young age are vital to enable these feelings to be spoken about and processed. Through Felix, Katie hopes to promote self-acceptance and awareness, and acceptance of diversity, as well as allowing children to be able to recognise their own feelings of not fitting in or feeling different, and creating conversation to enable them to speak up, which is vital for positive mental health.
