The Helper Who Wasn't Seen

The Helper Who Wasn’t Seen

By Dr Abbie Muchecheti

Every school has a rhythm, laughter in the halls, the smell of books, the hum of learning. But behind that rhythm are people who keep everything together… and often go unseen.

In this tender and beautifully written picture book, young Amira notices what others miss: the quiet woman who tidies the rooms, straightens the chairs, and wipes away every spill all without applause.

When a rainy day brings a sudden crisis, it’s not the headteacher or the hero in a cape who saves the day… it’s the helper no one remembered.

With warmth, dignity, and childlike wonder, The Helper Who Wasn’t Seen honours everyday heroes and reminds us that kindness doesn’t always sparkle sometimes, it simply shows up.

A moving story about respect, visibility, and the power of noticing perfect for ages 4–8.
