Praise for The Problem With Problems:


A masterclass in how to do children's self-help well, The Problem With Problems is a delightful and engaging book that will resonate with children and adults alike. Written by the talented CLPE award-winning children's poet Rachel Rooney, this second installment in the series is a must-read for anyone looking for a fun and informative way to address common worries and fears.


The book begins with a young child named Max, who is plagued by worries and fears. He can't sleep, he's afraid of the dark, and he's worried about everything from his friends to his family to the world around him. Max's worries are not only affecting him, but they are also affecting his family and friends. His parents are constantly worried about him, and his friends are starting to avoid him because he is so preoccupied with his fears.


But then Max meets the Worry Expert, a wise and kind old man who knows exactly what to do to help Max overcome his worries. The Worry Expert teaches Max that worries are just thoughts, and that he has the power to control them. He also teaches Max that there is no such thing as a bad thought, and that every thought has the potential to be a good thought.


Through a series of fun and engaging activities, Max learns to identify his worries, challenge them, and replace them with positive thoughts. He learns to relax, to trust himself, and to believe in himself. And as Max's worries start to disappear, he notices that his family and friends are happier and more supportive than ever before.


The Problem With Problems is a beautifully written and illustrated book that will appeal to children of all ages. It is a testament to Rachel Rooney's talent as a writer and illustrator, and to her ability to address important issues in a way that is both fun and informative. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a way to help their children overcome their worries and fears.
