Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
I was warned that the first part of the book was a general introduction to child development theory and therefore wasn't very useful. But though I have studied developmental theory I found it useful to review it through the lens of anxiety.
The second part, with the deeper information on games and activities to help lessen a child's anxiety, was extremely useful and well done.

I'm usually rather sceptical about these 'helpbooks for kids', mainly because I rarely agree yith the suggested solutions for the problems. They often suggest ways to wrap your kids in bublewrap, or suggest evasion manouvers on the real problem.
But not this one. I actually liked this one. It offers a starting point to TALK TO YOUR KIDS, let them tell you their fears and offer positive support for them overcoming their fears themselves.
Oh, and the illustrations are cute too. Two thumbs up

I like that the emotions were personified with little creatures. Happy is a pink creature, who Marcy really wants to find. This little girls feels a lot of emotions and doesn't always like them. Sadness is blue and makes her feel bad. And embarrassment makes an appearance too! All of the emotions come to Marcy throughout her days. But then one day... they disappear. And with that, Marcy learns some truly important messages about emotions.
This book is shockingly well written. Emotions can be very difficult to write about and I was nervous that it might portray having emotions as bad. But it didn't! It showed that they are normal, and yes indeed we chase happiness. When she didn't have any emotions, she just felt empty. It showed that emotions can be good. To be happy, you need all of the other emotions as well. Biggest point: emotions don't have to control you.
I definitely like this book and I think it's super intelligent. Good job Allison Edward on this magnificent book! All the awards to you!
I'd highly recommend parents and educators pick this book up. It's wickedly smart an has a truly important message and theme. It also has awesome pictures!
Five out of five stars!
