Lessons of a LAC

Lessons of a LAC by Lynn Jenkins introduces readers to Loppy, an LAC, or ‘Little Anxiety Creature’. Loppy always focuses on what could go wrong and finds it challenging to stop worrying. In contrast, Curly the Calmster is the opposite, gently encouraging Loppy to think differently about his worries.

As the story unfolds, Loppy, along with the readers, learns simple and effective ways to reframe their thoughts and discover the right words to reassure themselves when feeling anxious or worried. The book emphasises that just because bad things might happen, it doesn’t mean they will.

This engaging picture book offers readers a unique way to think about their worries and the feelings associated with anxiety. Understanding these 'worry feelings' empowers them, while learning that there is an alternative to constant worrying brings relief.

Lessons of a LAC is the first book in the 'Lessons of a LAC' series. This beautiful series, created by an author and illustrator passionate about providing children with tools to manage common emotional difficulties, serves as a valuable resource for every child, guiding their emotional development.
