Hey Warrior Books

Hey Warrior is a beautifully illustrated and empowering book that makes big anxious feelings easier to handle.

Written by psychologist Karen Young, Hey Warrior explains anxiety in a way children can truly understand — showing that anxiety isn’t a flaw or a weakness, but a sign of a strong, protective brain. Through engaging language and friendly illustrations, kids learn about the “amygdala,” the brain’s little warrior that tries to keep them safe — and how they can calm it when it works too hard.

Perfect for home, classrooms, or therapy settings, this book gives children practical strategies for coping with worry, fear, and anxious thoughts. It helps them feel brave, capable, and in control of their emotions.

The Hey Warrior Workbook is the ultimate side-kick to Hey Warrior. Use it to guide you through your ups downs, and everything in between.

Packed with practical activities, powerful strategies, and clever little life skills, this workbook will help kids wrangle anxiety, build their brave, and navigate their big feelings (waaay easier when they have a guide!).

Its playful. Its practical. Its got warmth, humour, and loads of heart.

The more kids can understand why they feel the way they do, and how those feelings influence what they do, the more they can meet those feelings with compassion, confidence, and clarity.

Because all kids can do amazing things with the right information. 

For ages 5-12. (And super helpful for grown-ups too.)
