Mami encourages her to imagine something happy, and Isla remembers there’s nothing she can’t handle.The storm might come again, but for now, her mind is quiet.In this thoughtful and reassuring picture book, Mónica Mancillas’s text and Betty C. Tang’s illustrations show how one child experiences anxiety and worry, providing different tools to practice mindfulness and strengthen one’s mental health.
