Andy is a kid so anxious, he is missing in life. I am an adult but I extremely got to relate to Andy and I think I am really missing out there because I am so afraid to fail; so afraid to be judged. Since it is a children's book, its ending was not too close to how you achieve freedom from anxiety in real life, but for a children's story it's ok.

Hmmm... A boy is too anxious to play on the climbing frame, too scared of embarrassment he refuses to have a kick-about with the football, and so on – so what he does is ask the wildlife he meets on the way home what to do about it. But then lo and behold all his mother has to do is say the right things and the kid's immediately outside rough-housing with the best of them. This will serve as encouragement if a relevant audience member finds it, but I can't pretend this is the best book for serving this specific need. The text is a bit wordy for the age range I think it's focused at, and makes a peculiarly half-hearted attempt at being in rhyming verse.
