Bea is excited for her birthday party! Until her anxiety interferes.
What if my friends don’t like the games?
What will I do if they call me names?
Like the fast-growing willowtree in the yard, Bea’s anxiety takes root and keeps growing and growing. She imagines all the worst possible outcomes and doesn’t think she can go through with her party. Using deep-breathing and mindfulness techniques, Bea has to get control of her anxiety before she can enjoyher party.

Bea lives here, in this house with its yard and wide willow tree that towers and sways and bends in the breeze.
Bea climbs and swings, and dances and sings, and when she’s inspired (and not too tired), makes make-believe towns from twigs and things she finds on the ground.
