Its not Magic but it could be: Tips, tricks and sciency bits to manage anxiety

This wonderfully illustrated book fills a gap in the wide range of material on wellbeing, managing anxiety and positive mental health. The characters will guide children, parents, carers and professionals through a journey of discovering exactly what anxiety is and how it feels, as well as easy to implement, practical ways to manage anxiety, whatever your age. It powerfully combines psycho-education with easy to understand language and wellbeing activities that work so well you would think they were magic.

What people have said so far:
"Lovely story of friendship, empathy and compassion to support conversations with children about managing anxiety. Could be used by teachers, social workers, support staff and parents/carers. Easy read for children to use as a reminder of techniques for when they are struggling."

"Provided genuine workable solutions to real life issues children have. I thought the characters were good and the techniques were easy to follow and made sense. Well presented."
"Simplified language to explain the "sciency" bit - normalises the experience and the variety of techniques give children different options to try."

"This is a great book that helps children visualise how to deal with anxiety and any emotions that are thrown up with stress. Whilst reading it I could imagine each of the characters and how they helped visualise the core of the anxiety and use techniques to help cope with this. As it was written as a story it was much easier to follow and was written in speech that young children can understand."
