My Guardian
This is the story of a girl with anxiety.
She doesn't know what is happening to her or why. She feels very bad: she's very scared.
What at first will be a real struggle to flee as far as possible from these unpleasant feelings and from this being, who seems to follow her everywhere, will end up becoming the goal of her well-being when she discovers that all she had to do was LISTEN.
A beautiful picture book whose charming illustrations will take us on an intense but necessary emotional journey, where negative emotions are not our enemies but instead a warning sign to keep us safe.
A story that encourages us to listen and to ourselves; to discover what is wrong with us and what we need.
A story that invites us to follow the paths of serenity and mindfulness to find the answer to all the doubts and fears that have always been inside us.
A faithful guardian who will always care for our well-being if we forget to look after ourselves.
"This book convincingly conveys the pressure of anxiety, though the word itself isn’t used until an author’s note that follows the story. Big emotions made relatable for young readers." - Kirkus Reviews
