I love the cover of My Spinning Anxious Brain. The foiled title text grabs your attention. Then the fireworks, clouds and stars all spinning around, make me dizzy just looking at them. It really is an apt picture of a brain that is trying to process everything.

My Spinning Anxious Brain is an endearing story aimed at alleviating the stress of the overthinking child.
Anxious children will resonate with our young narrator as he explains the things that make him anxious and how this makes him feel. The story blends in coping strategies such as talking about how you feel with someone you trust, practicing grounding and being prepared for the day ahead.
Dani Vee champions courage, calmness, finding joy and forward planning to manage anxiety.
My Spinning Anxious Brain is a beautiful story told with compassion and moments of humour. It gives carers the opportunity to open conversations with children to better understand themselves and others.

Beautiful big bold cartoon style illustrations show our young narrator and his family as they help manage his anxiety. The illustrations are filled with smiles and fun showing children that, if managed well and with help, anxiety need not rule your life.
My Spinning Anxious Brain is a positive story that encourages children to accept and love who they are.
My rating 5 / 5 🎆🚀🌠🎆🚀
