Feeling Free - Hardcover

by Amie Allanson-Dundon (Author)

Feeling Free is a book for all ages. The prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders in people of all ages is rising. While written to speak to our younger children, the timely concept of sharing our feelings, talking about our thoughts and worries with adults and mentors has infinite relevancy.

The journey taken by Max in this book and the many ways he is helped along the way (some obvious and some hidden treasures for kids to find), help people of all ages better understand the emotional freedom we feel by talking about the concerns we carry. As Max's worries get heavier, talking about his thoughts helps to lighten his heavy feelings.

Adults and children of all ages will use this story to open dialogue about the importance of talking about our thoughts and emotions.
