Reviews
"A Case of the Zaps is a clever and charming way to help kids understand anxiety and feel comfortable talking about it with friends and the adults in their lives. It does a good job explaining how therapy works and giving children confidence that it can work for them. And it's fun!" --Dr. Harold S. Koplewicz, President, Child Mind Institute
"With their expressive blue and yellow face, Pi is a charming young protagonist who provides a welcome introduction to the normality of the Zaps--or nerves--along with some coping mechanisms and words to boot up a conversation with friends or caretakers."--Kirkus Reviews
"Readers of a carbon-based sort can learn more about. . .anxiety issues in general, from the authors' closing note and the trio of online resources they supply."--Booklist
