Theme - anxiety

Black Dog by Levi Pinfold is a beautiful picture book about fear, about over coming fear. It's also a picture book with a wonderfully large, feel good dose of old fashioned charm emanating from those delightful illustrations.

Granny Grommet and Me is a picture book which tackles the worries of little swimmers, whilst embracing the comforting nature of the grandparent relationship - all in just one book.

Squish Rabbit returns! The delightful Brave Squish Rabbit still retains its wonderful squishy cover, this time with swirly glow-in-the-dark circles gracing the front cover.

Nicky Johnstone's passion for what she does comes across from each and every page in this book.  Nicky understands how debilitating anxiety and worrying can be for children - and here she has converted her understanding in to helping children to overcome their anxiety.

This is a 'must turn to' resource for those children who suffer from anxiety.  Using her personal experiences, Nicky Johnston calls on superpowers and the visualisation of Mr Worrythoughts to encourage control and confidence in children.

This book is a cleverly crafted tale designed to approach many natural childhood fears - forests and 'where's dad?' whilst interweaving familiar elements from traditional fairy stories.
