Just like The Beast in the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, anxiety is an emotion that society initially misjudges as the villain. Your Anxiety Beast and You is a kinder, more compassionate approach for people suffering from anxiety.

Gain an understanding of why society stigmatises anxiety and gain a better understanding of your own anxiety beast with humour and compassion. Your Anxiety Beast and You takes you through step-by-step strategies to cope with the howling of the beast in your mind, the physical effects of anxiety on your body, and then focuses on ways to come up with ‘teachable moments’ for your anxiety to learn that what you fear is not actually a threat.With over 25 years of experience helping people with anxiety disorders and OCD, Dr Goodman aims to help you make peace with the reality of your anxiety. And then to help you re-focus on making your anxiety a better companion.

When he realizes he’s forgotten where he came from, Spot goes on a journey of discovery, trying out all kinds of things to uncover his place in the world. Is Spot a lost sentence ending period?

Tim loves his collection of dinosaurs—but one thing he’d love even more is a family of his own. 

Tim’s beloved dinosaur collection travels with him wherever he goes. But Tim travels a lot—he is a foster child and has to move from one family to the next all too often.  

Tim is always losing things, so when he moves in with the Lee family he doesn’t bother unpacking his dinosaurs in case they get lost when he has to move again. But one day he realizes he has lost something just as precious as his dinosaurs: his laugh. He doesn’t know where he lost it, but it definitely disappeared.  

The kind Lee family help Tim look for his laugh, but no one can find it anywhere. Then one day, some news arrives that might just help Tim find his laugh again. 

The Boy Who Lost His Laugh takes a sensitive look at foster care from the child’s perspective, and shows how humor and love can help you bounce back and find what you’ve been looking for all along.
