'Perfect for children predisposed to anxiety' - Dr Max Pemberton

This is a book for people who worry (so, yeah-everyone!). The perfect companion for children feeling anxious about returning to school or feeling overwhelmed with worried thoughts.

We all have a mixture of fun and not-so fun feelings. And everyone feels worried sometimes. But too much anxiety can get in the way.

This fun book is here to help boys and girls identify their anxiety, understand why it's just part of that thing we call life, and equip them with all the tools they need to find calm again.

Playfully presented, packed with illustrations and expertly vetted, author-artist Rachel Brian (co-creator of the viral Tea Consent video) delivers a must-have book for anyone who wonders why they worry and what they can do about it. From recognising when you're feeling anxious, to taking charge, training your brain and using awesome techniques to help you feel good again, this book will have readers worrying less and living more.

'This essential book combines key information with great tips and strategies to empower children when things feel overwhelming.' - The Scotsman
