About this audiobook
Does your son lie awake worrying about school, overthinking mistakes, or struggling to switch off at bedtime?
Bedtime Stories for Black Boys with Anxiety is a comforting collection of gentle bedtime stories designed to help Black boys reduce worry, build confidence, and fall asleep feeling calm, safe, and loved.
Through relatable characters, reassuring lessons, and everyday challenges, boys learn that anxious feelings do not define them, mistakes are part of learning, and courage grows one small step at a time.
Perfect for children who struggle with bedtime worries, nervous feelings, self-doubt, or racing thoughts.
Includes a special Courage Kit featuring a Positive Affirmations Page, six hero-themed colouring pages, and an "I Am a Superhero" colouring page to reinforce confidence and self-belief beyond bedtime.
Help your child end each day feeling brave, capable, worthy, and loved.
