"Harvey the Hippo Helps Grayson the Goat is a sweet book that contains real and helpful information. By personifying Grayson, the listener sees that a goat with social anxiety is helped to overcome his fear. He uses a breathing technique, distraction, compartmentalization and support from family and friends to help him conquer his fear of socializing. Grayson's self-esteem soars when he finds he can now do what he was trying to avoid. Lovely pictures accompany the story and will be appreciated by any child who has felt anxious in group situations without the presence of a parent. -Laurie Zelinger, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, board-certified psychologist, author of Please Explain Anxiety to Me!

"Hooray, Harvey is back with his friend Grayson! This time, he aims to help young children develop the inner resources to manage separation anxiety. The psychologically informed text and tender illustrations gift young children with Grayson, a handsome goat. Through clever rhyme and an expressive face, Grayson shows us how he physically soothes himself, how he puts words to his feelings and how he relies on others to aid him. Caregivers will find this Harvey tale a gentle bridge to facilitate conversations about a common and challenging childhood issue." -Toni Seidl, child psychotherapist, LCSW, retired
