It’s Violet’s first day at a new school, and she is starting to feel worried. What if nobody likes her? What if her teacher is mean? Unlike your ordinary first day jitters, these thoughts refuse to stay inside Violet’s head. They pop into the air and become ‘worry clouds’ that won’t stop following her! Feeling small, alone and invisible, Violet must figure out what she’s going to do about the worry clouds. If her thinking got her into this mess, can it get her out too? Violet’s Cloudy Day is the perfect book for any child who wants help knowing what to do when they worry too much. Through Violet, the reader learns how to be a resilient and empowered thinker, using positive self talk and a self-compassionate attitude to overcome anxiety.
Roz MacLean lives in beautiful Vancouver, BC, where she makes art, rides bikes, writes stories, and works supporting students with diverse needs. Roz is used to exploring and sharing through her art practice, but felt that the best way to share her enthusiasm about cultivating self-compassion, a positive mind set, and resilience was by combining pictures and words into her first book, "Violet's Cloudy Day."
