Anxiety resources
Discover a collection of books, videos, and articles designed to help children understand and manage anxiety. These resources offer practical strategies and supportive guidance for parents and children alike. Some of our recommendations include:
'Hey Awesome' by Karen Young
"Hey Awesome" shows kids that the same brain that sometimes feels worried is also super powerful and full of cool strengths! It shares fun and helpful ways to handle those nervous feelings. First, we cheer them on and remind them how awesome they already are—then we give them the tools to feel it deep down inside.
'Hey Warrior' by Karen Young
Kids are superstars when they know what’s going on! When they learn why anxiety feels so yucky and where those tummy flutters and racing hearts come from, they can start to feel braver and stronger. We break it down so it makes sense—because when kids understand anxiety, they can take charge. Perfect for ages 5 to 12 (and anyone who’s still a kid at heart!).
Aroha's Way by Craig Phillips
Aroha's Way is a beautifully illustrated book to help kids navigate challenging emotions like fear, worry and that nervous butterfly feeling. 🦋

Wonderfully Wired Brains by Louise Gooding
🧠✨ Guess what? Brains are like superheroes — each one has its own special powers! Some brains zoom through puzzles, others dance with colors, and some think in ways that make the world go “WOW!” That’s called neurodiversity — a big word that means brains are wonderfully different.
Sometimes kids with super-special brains feel like they don’t fit in, but this book says, “Hey, you’re awesome just the way you are!” It’s packed with cool stories, fun facts, and real-life heroes who are changing the way people think about brain differences.
📚 In Wonderfully Wired Brains, you’ll explore science, history, and all kinds of amazing brainy stuff. Whether your brain loves numbers, music, daydreams, or doodles — this book celebrates YOU! Because no two brains are the same, and that’s what makes the world so exciting.
So, get ready to giggle, learn, and cheer for every kind of brain — especially yours!
Grief & Loss
Supporting your child through one of the most challenging times, grief.
The Invisible String by Patrice Karst
👩👧👦 One day, a mom told her kids something magical: “We’re all tied together by an invisible string!” “Wait… what? That’s silly!” the kids giggled. “What kind of string?”
She smiled and said, “It’s a string made of LOVE!” 💖 You can’t see it with your eyes, but you can feel it in your heart — like a warm hug from far away. It stretches across houses, cities, even space! And guess what? It never ever breaks.
🌈 This sweet storybook shows how love keeps us close, even when we’re apart. It answers big questions like:
-
Does everyone have an invisible string?
-
Can it reach all the way to Grandma’s house?
-
What happens when we miss someone?
It’s a cozy tale for kids (and grown-ups too!) that reminds us: love is the strongest string of all.
