Things You Think About When You Bite Your Nails

This is a book about fear. About how it works, how it takes hold over us, and how it dogs us from childhood to adulthood. But this is also a book about that monster our fear can warp into when it grows too powerful, a phenomenon we are all too familiar with and that more and more of us are struggling against: anxiety. Author and illustrator Amalia Andrade had her own battle with anxiety, and not only did she make it out the other side, she learned sometimes it's the very thing that almost sinks you that can save you.
