What if the voice in your head wasn’t always right?
Meet Kate … and meet Gertrude.
Gertrude lives in Kate’s brain. Gertrude means well, but she’s a world-class worrier, a champion exaggerator, and just a little too good at turning tiny problems into giant disasters. From whispering worst-case scenarios to shouting “DANGER!” at the wrong times, Gertrude can make even the bravest kid feel unsure.
But here’s the secret: you don’t have to believe everything your “mental troll” says. In this playful, empowering story, young readers learn to recognize their Gertrude and discover simple, kid-friendly ways to take back control. With humor, heart, and a lovable (if slightly dramatic) troll, Oh, Gertrude helps children build confidence, resilience, and a healthier inner voice.
Because once you understand your Gertrude, you can stop letting her run the show.
