I absolutely adore the "Scaredy Squirrel" books. This is one of my favorite children's series. Scaredy is a squirrel who is afraid of almost everything, including leaving his tree. It isn't until he leaves though, that he realizes what potential he has. This is a great book to read to educate the class on anxiety. Scaredy has anxiety, as he worries about many things that he cannot control. Therefore, it is a good educational tool to teach students that there are people around them who may battle anxiety every day.
