Willa The worried Witch

Reach for this book when your child is caught in a loop of what-if thinking or feels paralyzed by the anticipation of things going wrong. It is a perfect choice for those nights when anxiety keeps a little one awake or when a new transition is causing visible distress. Willa the Worried Witch follows a young magical girl who, despite her powers, feels powerless against her own racing thoughts. As she prepares for her first day at the Academy of Magic, her worries manifest as physical obstacles that she must learn to navigate. Through Willa's journey, the book introduces concrete mindfulness tools and cognitive reframing techniques wrapped in a charming, whimsical narrative. It normalizes the experience of anxiety, showing children that even the most 'magical' people feel scared sometimes. Parents will appreciate the way it shifts the focus from avoiding fear to building the resilience to face it, making it an essential addition to any family library focused on emotional intelligence and self-regulation for children aged 3 to 8.
