Sarah's Sleepover-Paperback

A gentle story about anxiety, worry, and feeling safe enough to talk.

Sarah was excited about her first sleepover… until suddenly, she wasn’t.

Now her thoughts won’t slow down, her worries feel too big, and all she wants is for everyone to go away. But when Sarah pushes people away, her carer Kathy does something unexpected.

She stays.

As Kathy patiently waits beside her, Sarah slowly begins to understand that worries don’t have to stay stuck inside forever. Together, they sort through the fears swirling around in Sarah’s mind, helping her discover what she needs to feel safe, calm, and brave enough to try.
