I wrote a book! If you like my Anxious Little Monsters illustrations, you’ll love this. It’s full of nearly 200 new illustrations and positive affirmations for anxiety and ways to relieve stress. I’m so chuffed with how well it turned out! You can see my reaction to seeing the book in person for the first time at the bottom of this post!
Anxious Little Monsters is a friendly little book on anxiety containing cute monster illustrations, positive affirmations for anxiety, and encouragement for those facing mental health challenges.
An antidote for a society riddled with loneliness. Even though advancing technology has allowed people to connect in ways once unimaginable, we are lonelier than ever. It can be difficult to find a place in our fast-paced world, and it’s easy to think that we’re the only ones going through a hard time. As a result, anxiety is on the rise. Enter: Anxious Little Monsters. The positive affirmations for anxiety, in the form of hand-drawn, adorable anxious monsters, meet your anxiety where it’s at and offer a helping hand for getting through it and attaining mental wellness and peace of mind.
The gentle reminders you need and deserve. Overcoming anxiety may seem daunting, but these monsters are here to teach you to change your perspective and take things easy. They offer stress and anxiety relief to remind you you’re not alone – they’re struggling with the same things you are. Author and professional illustrator Verity Crosswell crafts each cute little monster to be a soothing reassurance that helps you feel cared for and understood. When it comes to mental health resources and the best books for anxiety, this book is one that you can turn to again and again.
