Do your children know they are the boss of their thoughts New York Times bestselling author Jennie Allen will help your kids realize that they don’t have to hang on to every scary, anxious, or mean thought that enters their heads (no matter how it gets there). Based on biblical advice to take thoughts captive, this picture book makes managing thoughts achievable and fun for kids.

As a mother of four and bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head, Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns—and she wants to pass on this liberating truth to the next generation.

A great gift for teachers, caregivers, or back-to-school celebrations, What to Do with Your Whirly, Swirly Thoughts is a wonderful tool to teach your children that

  • God created them and their amazing brains with a plan and a purpose, and He wants to help them use their thoughts and brains for good;
  • God has given them power over their thoughts; and
  • even if they’ve been stuck in a swirl of anxious, scary thoughts, they don’t have to stay there!

With whimsical illustrations from Nadia Gunawan and a beautifully decorated cover, this picture book addresses one of the most foundational skills for a happy, healthy life. Surround your children with your love and with tools to combat anxiety and negative thinking.
