Once upon a time there was a girl with a head full of fears. How many of us recognize ourselves in this girl. A book that teaches you about how anxiety can manifest itself... and small gestures that will help us feel better.

This story was born out of a mother's need to teach a daughter who had a lot of fears in her head to know how to deal with them and not let herself be dominated by anxiety. And from a psychologist who thought that perhaps there were many other girls and boys (and adults) out there who would see themselves in this girl.

Children often think they are alone in the way they experience the world. Stories are a way to feel seen and heard - or to understand how others might be feeling.

And teaching our children about how to manage emotions is giving them tools to take control of their lives. Sometimes it all starts with hearing a story...

By supporting this campaign you are helping to ensure that more children and more parents feel that they are not alone in their struggles, and that the topic of emotional regulation is approached in a fun way.

About the author

My name is Susana Rodrigues, I am the mother of a girl and a boy. I'm a clinical psychologist, which doesn't stop me from sometimes having a head full of fears and doubts...

I have been specializing in third generation therapies, which include practices focused on mindfulness, acceptance and compassion, as well as practices that target the body, in managing the difficulties that my clients experience - including anxiety.

I've always loved reading and writing, but I never thought about publishing a book, until one day "Help, I have a head full of fears" suddenly appeared to me as a way of teaching my little girl how to deal with her own anxiety.

Budget and due dates

The campaign amount corresponds to the publisher's request to proceed with publication, and includes:

- ISBN registration of the work and legal deposit

- Print

There is no defined deadline, however, the process takes around 3 to 4 months to complete, including registration at the national library, formatting the text, images, correction or review of the texts, and printing.​​​​

    Um pezinho no processo

    Venho novamente agradecer o vosso apoio, também na divulgação. "Acreditamos que este livro oferece a mensagem e a qualidade para ter destaque no nosso catálogo literário" é tudo o que a pessoa fica contente por ouvir não é? Como repararam a PPL permitiu mais duas semanas de campanha, nesta fase peço-vos um esforço adicional de divulgação, se calhar mais direcionado a quem realmente acham que poderia ter interesse no conteúdo do livro. Um agradecimento enorme a todos vós.
