Fred is a kid who has feeling.
One of them is anxiety.
Anxiety is always with him.
Sometimes it’s big.
Sometimes it’s small.
Fred knows about his anxiety. He talks to it. He takes slow breaths. He asks for help when he needs it.
Fred is not broken.
Fred is not weak.
Fred is brave.
Fred is kind.
Fred is strong.
Author and illustrator Joe Davis reads Fred vs. Anxiety, a gentle children’s story about big feelings, awareness, and strength. Created for kids and families, this story reminds us that feelings don’t define our worth and that it’s okay to talk about them.
From Dad Projects, a channel about creativity, fatherhood, and heart.
