Ria the Anxious Hermit Crab

Ria the Anxious Hermit Crab is a children’s picture book aimed at Primary School ages to help them understand, discuss and overcome anxiety.

Ria bottles up her worries and hides them in her shell so nobody can see them. She does this for a long time until they begin to weigh her down. A friendly turtle named Bruno helps Ria to talk about her problems and gives her helpful advise on how she can overcome them.

With an activity section at the end, children have the opportunity to continue the story themselves and giving them the chance to be creative but also talk about their own worries if they want to.
