Opinion:
This is a good book to help people who are anxious learn how to begin overcoming it. I liked the illustrations, as they made the sometimes extreme effect of anxiety come to form and even make them a bit humorous. As I do not struggle with anxiety, it was a bit hard for me to form a strong opinion of this book. However, I showed it to someone who does and they related instantly to this book - and couldn't wait to color the pages of the companion coloring book with me and talk about how anxiety affects her like Elisa. This book is a great help for kids who struggle with anxiety and who need both the support and help to overcome it.
