These and other stress-related symptoms can have a negative effect on school performance, family life, and friendships. From the best-selling authors of , this book is a helping hand for kids and an eye-opener for adults. Reassuring words, silly jokes, and light-hearted cartoons let kids know they’re not the only worry-warts on the planet-and they can learn to manage their stress.
