Emotions and Potions: The Whirling Worry

Even witches get the wobbles.

Betty the Witch is usually brave. But today, staring at her brand-new broomstick, she doesn't feel brave at all. She feels... cold.

While her friends Finn and Flo zoom through the clouds, a little grey breeze starts to spin around Betty's feet. It tugs at her hat. It shakes her knees. Before she knows it, she is trapped inside a Whirling Worry.

The garden looks grey. The pumpkins look scary. And flying seems impossible.

Can Ebony the Cat teach Betty the secret of "The Anchor" to stop the spinning?

Join Betty and her magical friends in this reassuring story about overcoming anxiety and the fear of failure.

This empowering picture book helps children:

• Recognize Anxiety: seeing worry as a "grey wind" that can be managed.


• Learn Grounding Techniques: Introducing the "Anchor" method (similar to the 5-4-3-2-1 technique) to calm a racing mind.


• Build Confidence: Showing that it's okay to be scared, and you can still fly after the storm passes.

"Perfect for little ones who get butterflies in their tummy before trying something new."
