Fulton Books author Jenna Nicole Alessi, an inspiring woman who was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, has completed her most recent book "Elsie's Anxious": a great narrative that follows a hedgehog named Elsie. She's loved by her parents but this does not spare her from getting anxious outside the comforts of her home. Elsie gets nervous and scared around other hedgehogs. She thinks that everyone is watching and judging her and that none of her hedgehog friends really like her. Find out how her parents deal with this situation.
Alessi shares, "I wrote Elsie's Anxious during the middle of the night when I could not sleep because of my anxiety. My boyfriend adopted a hedgehog and gave the hedgehog to me for Christmas because I have wanted one since I met him because he is really into exotic animals that are not necessarily found in the United States. If you asked me years ago if I ever thought I would have a hedgehog to take care of, I would have laughed and said no way! I named my hedgehog Elsie because I really like the way it sounds. I think it is very cute! The title of my book is Elsie's Anxious because Elsie is anxious just like me. She gets really nervous and scared when there is no reason to be those things. She is just like me! Hedgehogs have quills, and when their quills go up, it means they are anxious in some way. I feel that a hedgehog is a perfect animal to represent anxiety in a children's book."
Published by Fulton Books, Jenna Nicole Alessi's book is a significant work that introduces anxiety disorder to young children. This will not just benefit the kids but also their parents and other adults around them.
This picture book is a must-read.
