About this title

Synopsis

Bea is anxiously waiting for her friends to show up for her birthday party. The worries start to grow around her like tree branches.

She asks herself questions like, "What if my friends don't like the games?" Her stomach flip-flops, and she feels shaky. She tries to run away from the thoughts in the worry tree, but it doesn't work! Bea uses deep-breathing exercises and visualization techniques to calm herself down.

Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers by Ara Schmitt, PhD, about the ways in which kids can respond to their anxious thoughts.
