Anxious Skye is a calming and relatable story that helps children recognize and navigate anxiety. When Skye Squirrel notices orange ribbons marking trees in his forest, he becomes anxious about what they mean. With reassurance from his mother and time with friends, Skye learns to manage his worry and find comfort in understanding.
Ideal for ages 3–8, this story gently guides children through the feeling of anxiety—showing that with information, support, and a little time, anxious feelings can become easier to manage.
Available as a standalone book or bundled with a light gray tail for the My Emotion Squirrel plush, representing anxiety.
As a therapist, Skye Squirrel has been a great interactive tool. Kids are able to learn about and identify different emotions. The changing of Skye Squirrel’s tails keeps them excited, engaged, and involved.

I am an elementary school teacher, and this is a great book to address blindness with my students. It is very kid-friendly. It teaches a great lesson about having compassion and accepting others.

An inspirational story with a message that my family and I will remember for a long time. Great storytelling of a sensitive subject. I highly recommend it!

Grief feels like someone has left you and can be confusing to young children. This story communicates wonderfully that all emotions are okay to feel.

My 10 yr old was struggling one day, and I teasingly told her she needed Annoyed Skye, which lit up her face. She ran and got her My Emotion Squirrel with his “annoyed” tail and gave it a big hug!
