Walter's worry weed

Page Title

I was anxious in elementary school, and fortunately, my third-grade teacher helped me untangle my thoughts and get help. In middle school, I realized the anxiety my friends experienced was due to them planting negative seeds in their minds. I told them that whenever they recited those thoughts, they watered the seed, and it took root. That’s when the idea for Walter’s Worry Weed was born. I can do a lot, including climb gnarly mountains, because I do my best to plant positive seeds, even when life is hard. I thought that publishing a book would help to spread the message. I donate one book for every book purchased.

Meet walter

"Walter's Worry Weed" is about a boy who learns to navigate his worries with courage and confidence. When Walter’s worries take root, he bravely seeks help from his teacher. Together, they whack away at his worry, untangling the negative thoughts.

Walter learns the importance of self-kindness, resilience, and the remarkable strength that lies within each of us.
