Start the conversation and help a child open up about worries with Let's Talk About Anxiety. Featuring a beautifully illustrated book and 20 accompanying conversation cards, Let's Talk About Anxiety inspires thoughtful discussion between adults and children, helping young people to speak about their worries and concerns. Whether it's explaining what worry feels like, or providing a child with the tools to cope in situations where he or she feels nervous, the activities and exercises inside use prompts and images to discuss important issues with a focus on mental wellbeing and understanding. This set allows adults to engage with children on an emotional level, helping them to develop emotional connections, as well as growing their compassion, communication and effective listening skills.

Covering the works of Canadian authors Alistair Macleod, Michael Ondaatje, Jane Urquhart, Margaret Atwood and Drew Hayden Taylor, the author explores how the themes of memory, storytelling and identity develop in their fiction. For the narrative voices in these works, the past is embedded in the present and a wider cultural history is written over with personal significance. The act of storytelling shapes the characters' lives, allowing them to rewrite the past and be haunted by it. Storytelling becomes an existential act of everyday connection among ordinary people, and in daily (often unrecognized) acts of heroism.
