(3) PS Illustrated by Ella Bailey. "I've always known my monster. It's always been there. It knows ALL about me." A young child with short hair and brown skin talks about life with "my monster," a (not-scary-looking) large, round, horned yellow creature. The monster hides when the child attempts to get rid of it--and the longer it stays hidden, the more difficult and demanding it gets. "It even made me stay indoors when my friends came to play..." The monster effectively embodies anxiety in the uncluttered illustrations; the compassionate text keeps the focus on the protagonist, who models how to lessen anxiety's grip while accepting that "My monster is part of me."
