There are a lot of things that make them worry, from speaking in public to being alone with their thoughts before bed. Follow this little axolotl as they face their fears and learn how to work with their brain to get through any challenge that comes their way.

Inspired by the author’s personal experience with anxiety, ＂Sometimes My Brain Worries＂ helps validate children’s feelings and shows them they are not alone. It reminds young readers that it’s okay to feel anxious and that everyone’s brain worries sometimes. Through heartwarming illustrations and a memorable rhyming scheme, this book introduces anxiety in a soft and approachable way. It teaches children to see their worries not as something scary they should avoid, but as a friend trying to keep them safe.

As the story unfolds, we see the little axolotl becomes more comfortable in new environments by using child-friendly grounding techniques like deep breathing and focusing on the sights and sounds of the present moment. These tools help calm their brain, allowing them to face their fears and overwhelming thoughts with confidence and bravery. ＂Sometimes My Brain Worries＂ is a perfect way to gently introduce children to anxiety, how to manage it, and remind them that worries are a normal part of life.
