恐慌龍 by K.I. Al-Ghani

My son has been struggling with big worries, and this book’s comparison between the Panicosaurus and the Smartosaurus really clicked with him. He now asks to read the “dinosaur book” whenever he feels anxious, and I’ve seen him use the calming tricks described inside.

The story's split between Panicosaurus and Smartosaurus gives my daughter a clear way to talk about her anxious moments, and the playful tone keeps it from feeling like a lecture. It's a touch long for a bedtime read, but she asks for it often enough that it's earned a spot on the shelf.
