The Worry Balloon
Description
On the first day of school, Isla experiences anxiety as her mind plays the 'what if' game, leading to scary thoughts and a world that feels stormy. With her mother's support, Isla blows her worries away in a balloon, but they return as school approaches. Encouraged to imagine something happy, Isla realizes she can handle anything, and her mind quiets down. 'Isla's Mind' by Mónica Mancillas, illustrated by Betty C. Tang, provides a thoughtful exploration of a child's anxiety, offering tools for mindfulness and mental health strengthening.
