We’re delighted to announce the release of A String of Worries, a new therapeutic story from Hannah Dobbs that is designed to help children explore and understand their worries in an imaginative and supportive way. This captivating story gently guides young readers through themes of friendship, self-doubt, and the desire for control, using the soothing metaphor of horses to represent different types of worries and how they can be managed.
In A String of Worries, we meet Maisie, a young girl on a journey to understand her own feelings. Through her experiences, children are encouraged to identify and discuss their own worries, whether they relate to friendships, family dynamics, or school. By seeing Maisie work through her emotions, readers gain insight into recognizing and handling their own feelings in a healthy, balanced way. This story can become a valuable tool for children to gain confidence in managing their emotions, fostering resilience and self-awareness.
A unique aspect of A String of Worries is its lack of illustrations. Instead, readers are encouraged to visualize Maisie’s world and experiences in their own minds. This approach supports creative development, allowing each child to form a personal and meaningful connection with the story.
For caregivers, teachers, or therapists, the story opens up opportunities for thoughtful discussion, inviting children to reflect on their own emotions and experiences while sparking their imagination.
Whether read individually, as a comforting bedtime story, or in a therapeutic setting, A String of Worries offers gentle, thoughtful guidance that makes it perfect for children navigating their first steps in emotional self-regulation. It serves as a supportive resource for parents, caregivers, and professionals looking to introduce coping strategies in a way that feels engaging, age-appropriate, and accessible.
If you’d like to explore Maisie’s journey with the young ones in your life, A String of Worries is now available as both an eBook and audiobook on our website.
