Reach for this book when your child starts expressing those nagging what-ifs or experiences physical symptoms of anxiety, like tummy butterflies or racing hearts. It is a perfect choice for children who are naturally cautious or prone to overthinking everyday situations, such as school performances or social interactions. The story follows Lilly, a young girl who feels her worries growing into a heavy, overwhelming presence that follows her around. Through Lilly's journey, the book introduces practical, cognitive-behavioral tools in a way that feels like a natural part of the story. It normalizes the experience of anxiety by showing that even 'big worries' can be managed through visualization and breathing. For parents of children aged 4 to 8, this serves as both a comforting read-aloud and a toolkit for building emotional resilience, helping children identify their feelings before they become unmanageable.
