Meet the Orlis

Each Orli carries a feeling. Children use them to say how they feel without having to find the words. Every Orli can feel lots of things, just like us.

Orla, the calm green Orli, smiling gently.

Every Orli can feel lots of things

Orla isn’t only calm, and Rory isn’t always cross. Each Orli’s page has a sheet to print, to colour in and try new faces.
