Luna the Very Anxious Dog: For Kids Who Sometimes Feel Big Feelings Too

And sometimes, those feelings can feel too big to handle.

Luna loves tummy rubs, zoomies in the yard, and snuggling with her best friend, Harper. But when anxious thoughts take over, Luna's heart races, her tummy twists, and she worries about everything. With Harper's help, Luna tries something new: she builds an "Anxiety Puppy Toolbox" filled with simple coping skills kids can use, too.

In this gentle, reassuring story, children learn how to:

• Practice "paw breathing" to calm their body and slow racing thoughts
• Play grounding games using sight, sound, touch, and smell
• Trade worry thoughts for brave, helpful thoughts
• Notice that progress can feel small at first and still be something to feel proud of

Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Madison Randolph, PsyD, this warm picture book supports age-appropriate conversations about anxiety, coping skills, and emotional safety.

Perfect for children ages 4-8, parents, teachers, counselors, and therapists who want a kind, dog-loving way to help kids feel safe, understood, and supported.
