Issues

One night just before the lights went out, Worry snuck into Maya's mind. Worry grew bigger and bigger until there was no space left for anything else. Just darkness and fear. Join Maya as she finds Courage, through the form of a calming breath, and learns how to break free from Worry's hold.

​"When Worry Takes Hold is a great combination of a powerful storyline and wonderful illustrations. I strongly encourage parents to read this book with their children, which could open up conversations about their fears. Even teachers could benefit from the excellent methods of dealing with worry that can be shared with their students." ​
