Overview

Sometimes Willa's worries feel as big as a mountain. Her tummy twists, her thoughts spin, and her heart beats fast. But when the friendly Worry Monster appears, Willa learns that even the biggest worries can shrink with understanding, practice, and care. This gentle, illustrated story introduces children to the world of emotional awareness and self-regulation, showing how co-regulation, creativity, and calming rituals can turn anxious moments into opportunities for growth. Each Inner Harmony Haven story combines therapeutic storytelling with practical strategies-helping children recognize their emotions, name what's happening in their bodies, and build personal coping toolkits they can use at home or school. Following the story, parents and carers will find reflection notes to deepen emotional conversations, and a Strategic Toolbox-a guided section featuring hands-on activities, sensory tools, and creative practices that empower children to strengthen resilience and self-belief. Perfect for parents, teachers, therapists, and wellbeing professionals, Willa and the Worry Monster provides a nurturing framework for children aged 6-12 to develop emotional literacy, confidence, and calm. Series: Inner Harmony Haven: Children's Books for Big Feelings and Coping Skills - where imagination meets emotional learning through stories of co-regulation, compassion, and growth.
