Go Away, Worry Monster!Author(s): Brooke Graham, Robin Tatlow-Lord\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Exisle Publishing, New Zealand\nImprint: EK Books\nISBN-13: 9781925820393, 978-1925820393\nSynopsis\nWorry Monster loves \""helping\"" Archie worry, especially the night before he starts his new school. Archie feels so anxious that his head hurts, his tummy flutters and his heart pounds. He soon realizes the only way to feel better is to make Worry Monster go away. He does his belly breaths and faces facts to challenge his inner fears.\n\n Children have the potential to engage and empathise with Archie and Worry Monster both through the text and the subtle gestures and fleeting emotions captured in the beautiful illustrations. Encouraging children to name their anxiety is an evidence-based, current strategy used by psychologists to assist children in separating themselves from their anxiety.\n\nGo Away, Worry Monster! gives children this and other useful strategies to cope, showing them how.
