With engaging activities, colorful illustrations, and expert strategies, this workbook empowers kids to become the confident pilots of their own emotional journeys.

Whether your child is nervous about school drop-off or anxious when you're out of sight, this book offers a safe space to explore those feelings--and helps them take flight with confidence.
