Don’t Think About Purple Elephants (Hardcover)

Sometimes Sophie worries — not during the day when she is busy with family and friends, but at night when everything is calm and quiet.

Sophie is not able to go to sleep at night. She stays awake and worries and is exhausted the next day. She doesn’t worry when she is in school or playing at home; her anxieties come out at night when she should be fast asleep. What will she do to get some shut-eye?

In this endearing tale of fun-loving Sophie by day/ anxiety-filled worry-wart by night, Sophie’s mom comes up with a good strategy to get her daughter to go to bed. She tells her, “Don’t think of purple elephants!” Because, you know, when you tell a child not to do something, it is usually the first thing they will do, right?! Ha. This is a colorful book that has a message for kids who have anxiety. Get your worries out by thinking of something entertaining, whether it is purple elephants, blue monkeys or even counting sheep! Re-focus on something fun or positive to overcome worry and get your much needed ZZZZZs.
