Abstract

Written by 9-year-old Daniel Kinchlea, this story is all about the first fire dragon and their search for help. The story mirrors Daniel's own understanding of his diagnosis journey as a young child.

About the author: At one year old, Daniel was diagnosed with a rare autoinflammatory disease. Caused by one or more genetic mutations, some of Daniel's symptoms include ongoing high fevers, rashes that cover his body, a rare blood disorder called macrophage activation system, Crohn's Disease, systemic arthritis, and interstitial lung disease.

His concept for the book was inspired by his unique experience as a rare disease patient and advocate.

Abstract

Kids experience anxiety and can feel overwhelmed just like adults do, and this picture book serves as both a story and a step-by-step guide to help calm kids down. Ollie is the puppy living inside of our narrator's head, and when Ollie panics or is too energetic, the narrator feels that way, too! But she learns to handle the situation with her breath and her mindfulness, and by talking it out with an adult.

In plain language and with a rare sense of understanding and compassion, Elise Gravel tackles anxiety in children head-on with bold colors and whimsical illustrations. This picture book also features a note from a pediatrician on the importance of mental health.

Perfect for bedtime or the classroom, readers will walk away a little more well-equipped to handle the puppies in their own heads.

Recommended for children ages 4 - 8 years.
