Fabulous Faith in Meet My Worry Monster (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523960460)

Melissa currently lives in Center Moriches NY, with her husband, James, daughter, Lilyanna, Son Jameson and their dogs Alfie and Scout. Melissa enjoys spending time with her family at the beach, boating, and traveling. In her spare time, Melissa is an active member of her church and a wish granter for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Suffolk County and sits on various charity committees. She has a passion for children's literature and empowering our youth. Mostly she loves being a stay-at-home mother and wife. When Lilyanna began preschool, like most children she endured separation anxiety. Melissa read every book on the subject and sought professional advice to help her daughter with the transition. It was a very trying and upsetting time for everyone. Melissa soon discovered that most of the books did not address the fact that the anxiety resurfaces for the child throughout their day at school, and continues the next day, sometimes for weeks. Melissa wanted Lilyanna to learn to use her own skills to control these anxious thoughts, and not allow them to roil around in her mind. Thus Fabulous Faith in Meet My Worry Monster was born. It is written from the child's perspective and is presented in a cute, funny, and empowering way for children and adults.
