Facing Mighty Fears about Throwing Up by Dawn Huebner, Liza Stevens
informative

5.0
First of all, I am an adult, so yeah this book isn’t aimed at me.
However, I do have an anxiety disorder and deal with panic and anxiety attacks, and one thing that makes them worse is the fear of being sick. When I feel like I’m going to be sick, I have a panic attack. The thought of being sick or someone talking about someone who was sick is enough to give me a panic attack.
This is what led me to reading this book.
It’s cute, it’s sweet, and it’s strangely calming. The illustrations are great and really add to it (not all of them are of actual sick) I especially love the part where it describes bodies and that our bodies do a lot for us, including making us sick when it needs to.
There is also a section at the back for parents, with helpful tips with how to read the book with your child if they have a fear of being sick. This was a really handy add in.
