Reach for this book when your child seems weighed down by a heavy, invisible worry that they cannot quite articulate. It is particularly helpful for sensitive children who find that their anxiety clouds their usual creative joys, such as drawing or playing. The story follows Angelina, a bright girl who loves to paint but finds herself paralyzed by a mysterious and growing fear that she cannot name. Budge Wilson captures the internal experience of childhood anxiety with remarkable gentleness. The book normalizes the feeling of being 'off' without an obvious external cause, making it an excellent tool for parents looking to open a dialogue about mental health and emotional resilience. It is best suited for children aged 5 to 8 who are beginning to navigate complex internal feelings and need to know that their 'foggy' days are okay.
