Luciana De Luca's Anxious takes readers into the mind of a little girl, who sometimes feels strange. Her world feels 'too fast and too loud.' 'Everything feels dark' and 'scary'.

Natalí Barbani's illustrations do a fine job of portraying what all that feels like and how it makes the child retreat into herself.

Is there a solution? The girl tells us she's learned she can ask for help and a hug; take slow, deep breaths; and - find her way to laugh again.

At the end are helpful Notes to both the reader and to Adults and caregivers on how to cope with a child's anxiety.
