Mia And the magic Worry Jar
In “Mia and the Magic Worry Jar,” we meet a girl whose world is filled with big thoughts and even bigger feelings. When these worries—about school, friends, and thunderstorms—swirl like a storm, her grandmother gives her a special tool: a Magic Worry Jar. Guided by this love and a sprinkle of magic, Mia embarks on a gentle, transformative process. She writes down her fears, drops them in the jar with a satisfying “Plink!” and feels her anxieties lift. This heartwarming narrative leads her to a profound and powerful truth: even the largest worries feel smaller and more manageable when we dare to share them.
Perfect for bedtime, the classroom, or emotional learning at home, this enchanting story is a tender and effective tool. It gently guides young readers in managing anxiety, introduces the principles of mindfulness, and helps them find comfort in their own innate inner strength.

Readers’ Reviews And Feedback
I really enjoyed reading this book. It such a beautiful story and I feel like it holds a special place in my heart, because I can relate to the main character. I can’t wait to read more stories from this writer.
As a teacher, I appreciate books that mix entertainment with positive values. "Barkley's Adventures" does that perfectly. The writing is engaging, the characters feel real, and the cultural touch in the Italian story was a great bonus. My students were captivated from start to finish and highly recommended for elementary classrooms and home libraries.
This book is a joy from cover to cover. Barkley is such a lovable character, and the stories are packed with imagination and warmth. My daughter especially loved the Italy trip chapter—it opened up great conversations about travel and trying new foods. We'll be reading this one over and over!
I bought "Barkley's Adventures" as a gift, and now I'm buying more copies for other families. The stories are simple yet impactful, and the characters are memorable. Brandon's bond with Barkley feels genuine and sweet. Felicia Whitford has created something truly special here—can't wait for the next book.
Betty Eastman masterfully translates core therapeutic principles into a relatable narrative. The book effectively teaches children to name, contain, and share their worries, which are foundational skills in managing anxiety. I regularly recommend it to the families I work with as a supportive, non-threatening introduction to emotional regulation. It’s both clinically sound and beautifully imaginative.

My daughter connected with Mia instantly. After reading, she asked for her own worry jar, and we now use it every night. It has opened up conversations about her feelings that she previously couldn’t express. This book is more than a story; it’s a practical framework that has genuinely helped our family navigate big emotions with more understanding and less fear.

This book is a transformative tool for my counseling sessions. The ‘Worry Jar’ concept gives children a tangible, safe method to externalize their anxieties. I’ve witnessed students embrace Mia’s journey as their own, learning to articulate heavy feelings. It’s a must-have resource for any educator or professional dedicated to supporting children’s emotional literacy and resilience in a gentle, accessible way.
