Synopsis

‘It feels as if a gigantic, rolling wave is washing over me.’

 

This book is perfect to introduce anxiety to family members, friends, teachers and those wanting to learn more about living with anxiety. Designed to help readers understand people’s differences, this book details one person’s experience of anxiety. Not everyone’s experience is the same.

 

Through colourful, dynamic illustrations this book guides the reader through what anxiety is, reactions to anxiety and how feelings of anxiety don’t last forever, once you ride its wave.
