It is considered to be the number one health problem in America. Although quite common, anxiety disorders in children are often misdiagnosed and overlooked.

She is 6 years old. Her therapist read her this book on her first session. I looked on Amazon and bought it after. My daughter loves this book and I think that it could help any child with any kind of separation anxiety. Her class has a parent read to the class every Friday. I read this to her class and I could tell they all loved it and were 100% interested. Great book.</p><p><b>Sara</b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert.
