I Am Stronger Than Anxiety (World of Kids Emotions)

Part of Elizabeth Cole’s World of Kids Emotions series, the story follows a young child who begins to feel an unfamiliar, fluttery sensation before everyday events like school or trying a new activity. Anxiety is personified as a pesky, shape-shifting cloud that grows when ignored but shrinks when named and faced with practical coping skills. Guided by a caring adult, the child practices deep breathing, positive self-talk, and small, confidence-building steps. By the end, the child proudly recognizes, “I am stronger than anxiety,” giving young readers an encouraging model for handling their own worries.
