Purchase options and add-ons

"Max & The Purple Anxiety Monster" is a touching story about a boy named Max as he moves to a new city and grapples with anxiety. His fears, embodied by a purple monster, loom large as he adjusts to his new home. Max learns ways to minimize his anxiety, thereby shrinking the monster's influence, such as writing in a journal and making new friends. Max's story of coping with anxiety is common amongst young children, and the visualization of the Purple Anxiety Monster is a helpful way for children to "name and tame" some of the big and fearful feelings they experience. Max & The Purple Anxiety Monster is a tale that teaches children the power of friendship, self-confidence, and coping strategies in facing change and fear.

This book brings hope to the reader by telling a true event with honesty and sincerity. Oh, and some wonderful graphics. Well done and worth owning.

I was blown away by this book! On the day I received it, I was feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, but as I started reading, I became completely absorbed in the story and felt my worries melting away, just like the protagonist Max. The experience was meditative and left me feeling centered and relaxed, like I'd just finished a rejuvenating yoga class. Kudos to the author and illustrator, a talented team who have created something truly special!
