Ruby is happy until a little worry shows up and starts to grow. Kids see the worry get bigger when it is ignored and smaller when Ruby talks about it. The pictures make the feeling visible which is exactly what many anxious kids need. By the last page most children are ready to try what Ruby tried and tell you what is on their mind.

Feelings are colors in this playful, art-forward book. Worry has a look. Calm has a look. Kids quickly point to how they feel and the conversation gets easy. Many families keep this by the fridge and use it like a daily check in. It is bright, kind, and surprisingly practical.

A friendly workbook with bite size CBT tools that kids can actually use. Think worry time, thought checking, and simple body resets. Read one short section together and try the exercise that night. It feels doable and gives anxious kids a sense of control that sticks.

Short, playful breathing and mindfulness exercises that fit right into real life. One minute before school. Two minutes in the car. A few breaths at bedtime. The instructions are simple enough for young kids to lead themselves. It turns calming down into a game and gives your family a shared toolkit.

That tight tummy feeling becomes a small spot you can shrink. Kids love the visual, and the coping ideas are easy to copy. Wiggle it out. Breathe in a square. Talk back to the worry with a stronger voice. It is upbeat and empowering without being cutesy.
