Micah and the Worry Stone was written as a tale of courage, and it was also written to teach healthy coping skills, both for children and the adults who care for them.
Micah learns how to manage her anxiety and self-doubt on her journey, so children can learn alongside her and apply those lessons to their own lives. By offering specific tools to help children become more resilient in the face of anxiety and worry, Micah's story speaks directly to children who are experiencing those same challenges.
Micah's story teaches coping skills like self-awareness, deep breathing, and asking for help, and reminds us that the power to ease our worries is already inside us.
