My Worry Monster and Me is a gentle, rhyming picture book that helps children understand and manage feelings of worry and anxiety in a playful, relatable way. Told in charming verse and accompanied by fun, cartoon-style illustrations, this heartfelt story turns big feelings into something small, manageable - and even a little bit silly.
The story follows a young child whose "worry monster" pops up during tricky or stressful moments - when school is hard, when tests are scary, or when dinner just includes too many peas! Sometimes the monster is small and quiet, but other times it feels big and hard to ignore. With support from a loving parent, the child learns to tame their worry monster using a magical tool - a Worry Jar.
Written for ages 4-9, this uplifting story empowers children to name their feelings, express them in safe ways, and learn that worries don't have to control them. By "feeding" the monster written-down worries, kids begin to feel lighter, braver, and more in control of their emotions.
This book is more than just a story - it's also a tool. The back matter includes:
A gentle explanation of what worry is and why it shows up
- Ten kid-friendly strategies to calm big feelings
- A step-by-step guide to creating a Worry Jar at home or in class
- A grown-up's guide to using the Worry Jar as a supportive emotional tool
Perfect for homes, classrooms, or therapy settings, My Worry Monster and Me brings comfort, conversation, and creativity into the hands of children and their caregivers. With rhythmic text, whimsical illustrations, and a practical takeaway, this book helps children feel seen, supported, and strong - even when their worry monster comes to visit.
