WHERE DID ANXIETY GO?
Today, kids and GenZ are experiencing higher rates of anxiety and depression than any previous generation thanks to social media, a disconnection from nature, and our educational system - one that prioritizes work and productivity over play and exploration. Few mental health resources exist for youth, let alone in languages other than English. Emotional awareness is an important building block to living happy health adult lives, because of this ROKATURAS is committed to publishing more books like Where Did Anxiety Go? - A book that teaches kids how to befriend their feelings.

Where Did Anxiety Go? is available in Spanish, Swahili, Somali and English. You can purchase Spanish and English through our Rokaturas shop. If you are interested in Somali and Swahili books please contact rokaturas@gmail.com to pre-order.

THANK YOU!
A huge THANK YOU to Mohamed and Mama Tshutshu for helping me translate the book into Kiswahili and Somali. Thanks to you, the book is accessible to a lot more kids in our community who are struggling with anxiety, and who might benefit from reading the book in their native language.
