Hey Warrior

Hey Warrior is a great read for kids who worry a lot and experience anxiety. This is great for allowing students to accept their feelings and emotions. This book puts into terms what may be happening in their body when they are feeling anxious. This will allow students to feel heard - it offers remedies to students with tools that they can use when they are experiencing anxiety. There is a section in the book called "cool things about me". This is a huge self-esteem builder for kids who are going through stress. The cognitive skill of listening to yourself and knowing what helps you and what doesn't is a huge life lesson for kids to learn and this book makes it easier to do so.

Although it's a picture book, this is really aimed at older school-aged kids. The pictures are cute (but not babyish) and there are lots of straightforward facts, helpful tips, and very positive messaging. Parents can simplify it a lot for their child (ASD, anxiety,...) but it's better this will be good to let them revisit it when they are older.
