Is your anxiety running? Well, you better go catch it!
Adult anxiety is off its leash again. Sylvie Swenni's A Pet Named
Anxiety, featuring illustrations by Paula Bossio, is a book of
lighthearted validation of the outlandish ways that anxiety sticks its
nose where it doesn't belong and then seems to run off with reckless
abandon
Is this Anxiety up with the sun? Sure is. Does it have a filter, care
about your boundaries or your personal space, or consider future
consequences of its actions? Not a chance! It also binge eats, runs up
credit card bills, texts your ex--texts everyone, for that matter--digs
holes it can't get out of, drinks too much, and gets riled up at work.
But as much as this thing wears you out like a mortifyingly bad puppy,
it's got its quirks and its charms.
A Pet Named Anxiety knows that this exhausting little hellbeast is
here for the chaos, but at least you're not alone!
