Kiki Kallira Breaks a Kingdom by Sangu Mandanna

4.0

This was a delightful read about a girl with anxiety who draws and sketches to help her cope. But one day she discovers that the world she's been drawing is real. And she has created a terrible monster for them to deal with. She has to learn to face her fears and learn to accept that her anxiety does not make her any less of a person to help them defeat the monster.

The anxiety representation in this book was fantastic! I love how they didn't make it something for her to overcome, but something for her to accept about herself.

I know my kids will love this one. The idea of your own imagined world being a real place that you can visit? That's just amazing.
