Jessie and the Monster: A Battle with Anxiety, A Story of Courage and Hope
Monsters arenât real â or are they? We donât think about them much, not until they attack, that is.
Jessie had a safe and secure life, but out of the blue her world was ravaged by the most ominous of creatures, Wisper. With his horde of followers, he finds a way out of The Badlands and invades her world.
Jessieâs anxiety is overwhelming, but help comes in unexpected ways from the strangest of places and people.
This is a story that will help young people from the age of eight through to early teens deal with feelings of anxiety. It will give them courage and hope for the future.
âAs her confidence grew, the monster became smaller and weaker, and Jessie became stronger and more sure of herself.â Author Information
