Dear You, Love From Your Brain
Karen Young
Like all beautiful, strong, important things, brains take time to build. Along the way, children have
an enormous capacity to influence the brain–building process in profound and enduring ways.
First though, they need information that will help them perform their magic. This book will help
children discover more about the brain – how it works, what it needs, and how to love it big so it
can love it back bigger.

Hey Warrior
Karen Young
Empower children to manage their anxiety by learning that it comes from a place of protective
strength within their brains—the amygdala—a tiny but fierce personal “warrior” that prepares us
to fight or flee danger, even when we don’t need or want its protection! Wonderful illustrations
and keen insights gently teach children how to be the boss of their brains and let their warriors
know when to stand down and relax through positive thinking and breathing exercises.

Hey Awesome
Karen Young
If kids with anxiety could see themselves the way we see them, they would feel so much bigger
than their anxiety. They would feel so much bigger than everything. Hey Awesome explains how
the same brain that can make them feel anxious sometimes, also comes with amazing strengths.
It also includes powerful tips for children on how they can manage their anxiety. First, we let
them know how awesome they are, then we give them what they need to feel it for themselves.
