Buzz, buzz. What's that sound? What's that weird, not-good feeling?
When a young girl gets "bitten by the anxiety bug," she feels confused, scared, and lonely. She worries about everything: Do the other kids not like me? Will the wind blow those trees down? Is there a monster under my bed? Am I the only one who feels this way?
But she soon realizes she's not alone. There are other bugs in the garden, just like hers! And all they really want is a little love and attention. She and her friends learn to manage their bugs by practicing things like mindfulness, deep breathing, and affirmations.
Many children (and adults!) are pestered by anxiety bugs; it's a normal part of being human. This beautifully illustrated book provides a captivating, accessible, and inclusive entry point into understanding the feeling of anxiety and how to deal with it in a healthy way.
