A Gentle Calming Purr: a Storybook to Help Children With Anxiety | Provide Them Comfort & Relief, Especially About Life Changes Kids About Emotions

What happens when your child’s worry feels too big to hold, and you’re not sure how to help them breathe through it?As a mother, I’ve watched anxiety show up in the smallest moments: a refusal to get dressed because the routine changed, tears over a new haircut, questions that spiral into “what ifs” we can’t possibly answer. Young children don’t yet have the language for anxiety. They just know their chest feels tight, their thoughts won’t stop, and something that seemed safe suddenly feels uncertain.That’s why I wrote this story: to give children a gentle mirror for their worry, and to give you the tools to guide them through it.In this book, you’ll discover:Why one little girl’s world feels like it’s falling apart over something adults might consider small, and how this validates what your own child might be experiencingA calming presence that doesn’t rush past fear or try to fix it, but instead shows children how courage and worry can exist togetherThe powerful realization that helps anxious children feel secure even when change feels scarySimple, rhythm-based language that naturally slows racing thoughts and makes bedtime reading a soothing ritualTwo carefully designed activities at the end that work beautifully for neurotypical and neurodivergent children alike, giving them concrete ways to process anxiety with youThis isn’t a book that lectures children about bravery or tells them not to worry. Instead, it walks beside them through the feeling itself, showing them that some things stay constant even when everything feels uncertain.Even if your child’s anxiety seems to appear out of nowhere, even if they can’t explain why they’re worried, even if you’re navigating this for the first time yourself, this story offers a starting point for the conversations that matter most.The watercolor illustrations are soft and uncluttered, the words are few but meaningful, and the emotional journey respects that healing happens slowly, with patience and presence.Scroll up and bring this gentle story home to your family today. Your little one is learning to navigate big feelings and you’ll be giving them exactly what they need to do it.
