Through a relatable and empowering story, Hello, Anxiety captures the essence of living with anxiety, both the gifts and the challenges. Jessica balances validation and empathy with practical tools, making this an amazing book for any therapist, parent, or helping adults looking to support a child experiencing anxiety. It’s the book I wish I could have had as a kid!

Once again, Jessica Sinarski delivers! In Hello Anxiety she masterfully weaves story, brain science, and relational care with simple regulation tools that children —and their caregivers—can add to their backpacks. With delightful illustrations, the story of Destiny and the dreaded book report provide a perfect backdrop for helping children use their whole, wise brain to say “Hello Anxiety! I’ve got this. I can do it!”

Bonnie Harris

What a practical, down-to-earth approach to a child’s anxiety. The use of books to represent anxiety and all of its aspects make it real and heavy — and easy for a child to see anxiety as objects you can choose to carry or put down. Sinarski’s language is simple and clear yet packed with useable information.

Kass Minor and Cornelius Minor

Without support, saying ‘hello’ to one’s anxiety can be a lonely experience. Similarly, bearing witness to the anxiety of others can make us feel helpless, angry, or avoidant. Hello, Anxiety offers gentle insight that can help all of us to be in more authentic connection with ourselves, our families, and our communities.-
