Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suzie has food allergies and has become scared to eat many foods, even some that she isn't allergic to. She's also afraid of catching germs that will make her sick, so she won't touch her dog, Teddy. Her fears keep her from having fun at home, at birthday parties, and on playdates. In this clear, engaging, and informative book, children with allergies and anxieties can learn how to face their fears by using cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques. In Suzie's case, this means imagining a Bouncing Worry Ball who partners up with Mighty Mitt. The book is designed so that children can color and draw their own pictures, as well as add their own ideas, while learning powerful tools to manage their anxiety. The book includes a list of resources about children's allergies and anxiety for parents.
