Description

Molly is stuck on a wild ride of her own making. She’s been transported onto an anxiety-fueled streetcar that’s filled will all her doubts, fears, and worries. Every time she has a test at school, or her daily routine gets messed up, she finds herself trapped on an out-of-control trolley with no exit. As her heart pounds and her knees buckle, she pleads with the operator to make it stop. But he can’t. The only one who can get this trolley under control is Molly. Using snappy text and lively illustrations, author Ashley Bartley explores childhood anxiety and feelings of panic. Molly and the Runaway Trolley is the first title in Bartley’s Self-Management and Me series, written for children ages 5 to 11.

A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise

Excellent narrative of panic and anxiety feelings children can experience but don't know how to describe. The coping skills offered are great and child-friendly useful! Molly shows she is interested in the mindful techniques, grounding, and journaling. Molly and the Runaway Trolley is perfect for Bibliotherapy in my practice. ~ Sandra A., Counselor
