This is a great book for kids like me who worry about everything. It uses emotes to explain how you can work on getting over your fears. I don't think it helped me get over my fears, but the story was really good and the pictures are really cute and it makes sense. I just have a lot of worries is all.
Woe is Me: The Wild Adventures of Woe the Worried (Emotes!)
By Matt Casper MFT

Written by a licensed Psychotherapist, this chapter book for early readers uses an engaging and funny adventure story along with contemporary illustrations to cover the topics of anxiety and emotional expression.
Woe The Worried wasn't always worried. In fact, he used to be quite relaxed. But after a traumatic experience battling a mean and nasty doughnut monster, Woe begins to transform. Woe begins to have both physical and emotional symptoms of stress, and yet is scared to share his new anxious feelings with others. While attempting to cover up his true feelings, Woe must face his own fears along with a crew of anxiety-provoking creatures, including a frigidly nasty creature called, The Icemaker! Along the way, with the help of his friends such as Super "The Confident" and Mixy "The Confused", Woe learns to identify, express and regulate his fears and anxiety. He learns that emotional expression is important and that feelings are always changing!
Along with a fun adventure story, this book also provides practical tips for kids to express and to deal with all kinds of worries and anxiety; from academic and school pressures to challenges with friends and family.
