What to do with your Whirly Swirly Thoughts by Jennie Allen illustrated by Nadia Gunawan

 


What to do with your Whirly Swirly Thoughts by Jennie Allen illustrated by Nadia Gunawan is a delightful picture for ages 5-8.  The book walks you through all the emotions, thoughts, and feeling you have and what you can do with them.  The story talks about what to do if your thoughts get too big and start to take over, you have a choice on what thoughts stay in your head, and some concrete activities for kids such as being thankful or physical activities.  

I found this book so delightful.  What a wonderful way to talk to kids about their thoughts and start great conversations with them. I love the honesty and beauty of this book.  This would be perfect for elementary health, Sunday School, or to start conversations between parents and kids.  The pictures are stunning, engaging, and add to the beauty of the book.  

I highly recommend What to do with your Whirly Swirly Thoughts by Jennie Allen illustrated by Nadia Gunawan.  This will be one of my favorite picture books of 2025.  


Blurb: As a mother of four and bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head, Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns—and she wants to pass on this liberating truth to the next generation.

A great gift for teachers, caregivers, or back-to-school celebrations, What to Do with Your Whirly, Swirly Thoughts is a wonderful tool to teach your children thatGod created them and their amazing brains with a plan and a purpose, and He wants to help them use their thoughts and brains for good;
God has given them power over their thoughts; and
even if they’ve been stuck in a swirl of anxious, scary thoughts, they don’t have to stay there!

With whimsical illustrations from Nadia Gunawan and a beautifully decorated cover, this picture book addresses one of the most foundational skills for a happy, healthy life. Surround your children with your love and with tools to combat anxiety and negative thinking.
