I absolutely love "Adventures with Daddy: At the Circus: A Children's Book about Overcoming Anxiety." The illustrations are bright, colorful, and exciting, which is perfect for kids and so representative of the circus. The story itself is wonderful too. First, "Daddy" is both supportive and kind, he's sharing his life with his daughter, and he helps his daughter learn how to control her very real fear through his own very real experience with it. At the end of the book, there are discussion facts and tips to help children with managing fear/anxiety. Such a great book.

About the author
Overcome anxiety!
Adorably illustrated, wonderfully written picture book to help your littles overcome anxiety. Readers will relate to little Renee (I know I do) who worries about making mistakes and has big time stage fright before her first circus performance. She imagines all the things that could go wrong and then doubts her own abilities and doesn't want to perform. How does she face her fears and go on? How can she calm herself down when her heart is racing so fast? Great for parents to see how Daddy helps Renee, too. As an added bonus, there are questions at the back of the book - questions to ensure your child understands the story, as well as questions for your child to reflect on their own feelings. The author also explains the difference between nervousness and anxiety and gives advice and tips on how to manage performance anxiety. This author is obviously a teacher! Great book to read with your kids to show them they are not alone in feeling nervous or anxious. This is an easy way to start a conversation about what makes your littles doubt themselves and how to gain self-confidence. This book should be in everyone's library.

The book beautifully explores the theme of overcoming fear and embracing new experiences, making it relatable for young readers who might also struggle with similar emotions. The author does an excellent job of portraying Renee’s internal battle in a way that is accessible and comforting for children. The narrative gently encourages readers to confront their own fears and find courage in the support of loved ones.
The illustrations are nothing short of enchanting, bringing the circus to life with vibrant colors and whimsical details. Each page is a visual delight, perfectly complementing the story and capturing the imagination of young readers. The expressive illustrations also help convey the emotional journey Renee goes through, making it easy for children to connect with her character.
This book is a must-read for young children and their families. Renee’s journey is a reminder that even in moments of fear, there is potential for joy and growth.
