About the Book

For many kids, anxiety can be a real monster! For Joey, that monster is Sam, who follows him around all day saying, "DON'T do this" and "DON'T do that." Sam makes Joey afraid to ride the school bus, raise his hand in class, play with the other kids, eat in the cafeteria, and join the soccer team. Until one day, Joey's teacher Miss Lilypond, teaches Joey a valuable lesson on facing his fears.

Scary Sam, the DON'T Monster can help children investigate their feelings and see that their anxiety doesn't have to be in charge or prevent them from doing whatever matters most to them. The relatable story and fun illustrations present a non-threatening way to familiarize kids with coping strategies that promote confidence and resilience. Inspired by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Scary Sam, the DON'T Monster will to help parents, teachers, and counselors bring these strategies into the home and classroom.

Throughout the story, children learn that it's okay to have scary thoughts and feelings, and the best way to overcome anxiety is by "doing," instead of giving in to their fears. This is done by taking small steps, rather than big ones. The book can be used as an example and discussion starter for children to think about their own fears, make their own plan, and figure out the small steps that will help them reach their goals.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book! What a great book to use for kiddos who struggle with anxiety! The illustrations are adorable and diverse. The book includes a note to parents and caregivers and helpful talking points to be discussed after reading the story. This is definitely going to be in my office to help my young patients who struggle with worries and anxiety. In the story Scary Sam tells Joey all the time DON'T. I'm telling you to DO! and grab a copy of this wonderful book.

-Frank J. Sileo, PhD, NJ Licensed Psychologist, Multi Award-Winning Author, National Speaker

"What a gift to share with children of all ages, both in the classroom and at home, to help us face our fears and anxieties while supporting each other as we continue to face our truths and learn how to deal with the universal Scary Sam that shows up for so many. A big thank you to Miss Lilypond for acknowledging that regardless of your age, fears and anxieties are real and help is all around us one step at a time."

-Lisa Zarestsky, M.A., Counselor/Certified Life Coach at Empower and Evolve
