This book should be in schools everywhere! Informative, reassuring and very funny, The Worry (Less) Book is a non-fiction, comic filled book about anxiety. It would make a perfect addition to any classroom or school library.
Rachel Brian is the co-creator of the viral "Tea Consent" video, and the Worry (Less) Book is just as eye catching and memorable.
I love that this books is aimed specifically at children (and will work particularly well for teenagers). It's full of relatable school experiences: such as studying for exams and socialising with friends. Following the tips in this book will make small but important changes to readers' daily lives. It doesn't claim to cure anxiety, and points readers in the direction of professionals if they need further help, but it does help to build an anxiety toolkit which can be used in a variety of situations.
I've already put it to use - my daughter was feeling anxious on her first day back to school last week, so we used the grounding technique on our walk to school to settle her nerves. School can be stressful at the best of times, but is particularly nerve wracking for lots of students at the moment, due to the long break and uncertainty over safety.
It's short and to the point, quick to read and easy to dip in and out of if you want a refresher.
This book is also visually great. The fun artwork made this quick and easy to read, understand and digest. There was great use of bright colours in Mental Health Day yellow and lots of the pages would work as stand alone panels.
Thank you so much Wren & Rook for letting me take part in the blog tour for this brilliant book. Make sure you check out the other stops on the tour this week.
