Elaine feels scared of everything, and she doesn' t always know why . . . but she doesn' t want to miss out on all the exciting things her friends get to do. Luckily for Elaine, her best friend Lou is here to help!
"Elaine' s story about having anxiety is one that will resonate with many young children and their parents. This book illustrates in a gentle and fun way that facing our fears is not as scary as we might think, especially when we share our worries with someone else who can support us. The book deals with ' what if' thoughts and generalised anxiety, and shows children that it' s normal to feel anxious about things but they can overcome their fears by being brave and facing them. The book is beautifully illustrated and approachable for young children and their parents to read together. " -Dr. Clare Calvert, Clinical Psychologist
Emma graduated from AUT with a degree in Graphic Design in 2018. She wrote and illustrated The Girl Who Was Scared Of Everything based on her own experiences with anxiety and depression. At first, she wrote it as an outlet for her own anxiety, until feedback from parents and teachers in her life encouraged her to make it into a reality. Her dream for this book is to introduce the concept of exposure therapy to children, by focusing on how enjoyable life can be when we face our fears head on. The book also includes a DIY section for parents and children to fill in together, by making a list of the support people in that child' s life. The aim of this is to start a conversation around who children can look to for support when they feel scared or anxious.
