You've Got Dragons by Kathryn Cave

4.0

This is a very interesting book. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for children (except maybe older ones, or ones who are unusually articulate about their anxieties). It's a picture book, but one that could be useful for adults because it talks about mental illness (anxiety) in a very simple and dignified way and gives good advice about dealing with it.

I will consider whether in fact some children would like it but at the moment I am leaning toward sharing it with adult friends. Dragons in the book are fears and anxieties and the book reassures us that it is not unusual to have dragons and gives some pretty practical and realistic tips for living and dealing with dragons. There is hope in it too. It is so short and simple and yet one of the best "how to" mental health books I have read.
