Within days of release, Wally Wombat reached #1 and #2 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases chart in its category, and is now used by parents, teachers and therapists across Australia and the USA.

The Wally Wombat Anxiety Bundle brings together two children’s picture books about anxiety, created to help kids aged 4–9 recognise their “worry feelings” and learn simple, practical strategies to calm their bodies and minds. The stories use fun, rhythmic, rhyming text so children are drawn into Wally’s world and enjoy reading (and re‑reading) the books.

Written by a Teacher Librarian and a Health Professional, these books are designed to be enjoyable and educational at the same time. Wally is a warm, reassuring character who helps children feel calmer and less alone with their worries – the friend your child didn’t know they needed.

When you buy the bundle, you get both Wally Wombat anxiety books for $35 – that’s a $5 saving compared to purchasing each book separately.

The Wally Wombat Anxiety Bundle is designed for:

• Children aged 4–9 (roughly Kindergarten to Year 3)
• Kids who worry about school, friendships, new situations, separation or “everything”
• Children who have difficulty explaining how they feel
• Families who want a gentle way to talk about anxiety without making it scary

The stories use fun, rhythmic, rhyming text and a lovable main character, so children enjoy the books as stories while also learning about anxiety and calming strategies.

These anxiety picture books are also widely used by:

• Teachers as part of wellbeing lessons, health units or social‑emotional learning
• School counsellors and psychologists in one‑to‑one and small‑group sessions
• Allied health professionals (OTs, speech therapists, social workers, youth workers) who support anxious children

Does your child get tummy aches before school, cry without being able to explain why, or struggle with big feelings they can't name?

You're not alone—and this book can help.

Wally Wombat: Anxiety Body Clues is a gentle, rhyming story that gives anxious children the words they need to understand what's happening inside their bodies.

When kids can recognise their "body clues"—a racing heart, wobbly legs, butterflies in the tummy—those scary feelings suddenly make sense. And once they can name what they're feeling, they can start to manage it.

With magnifying glass in hand, Wally helps children become detectives of their own bodies and minds. This loveable wombat will soon become the friend your child turns to—making learning about anxiety feel safe, fun, and empowering.

Written by an allied health professional and teacher librarian who know what children need, this book does more than entertain. It's a practical tool that helps kids build emotional vocabulary and develop the coping skills they'll use for life.

INSIDE THIS BOOK, YOUR CHILD WILL:

✔️ Learn to recognise anxiety signs before they escalate into meltdowns

✔️ Build emotional awareness and the confidence to express their feelings

✔️ Feel reassured that they're not alone in what they feel

PERFECT FOR:

✔️ Anxious children ages 3-8 experiencing worry or separation anxiety

✔️ Classroom social-emotional learning programs and school counselling

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:

"It's helped so much with [my little one's] transition from daycare to big school!" – Rianna, Mum of a 4 year old

IMAGINE TOMORROW MORNING:

Instead of the usual battle—tears, refusal to get dressed, pleading that their tummy hurts—your child is able to pause and say:

"Mum, my tummy feels funny. I think I'm worried about school."

That's the transformation this book creates. Once kids can name their feelings, they can manage them—and you'll finally have calmer mornings, fewer meltdowns, and a more confident child.

Does your child lie awake at night with racing thoughts, ask endless "what if" questions, or struggle to calm down when worry takes over?

Through playful language and colourful illustrations, Wally teaches evidence-based techniques including:

✔️ Cupcake Breathing – Smell the cupcake, blow out the candle (calming breath work)

✔️ Three, Three, Three – Use the senses to feel grounded in the present moment

✔️ Muscle Relaxation – Release physical tension from anxious bodies

✔️ Positive Self-Talk – Build confidence and challenge worried thoughts
