About this audiobook

A touching story about overcoming worries, from national treasure and BBC star Nadiya Hussain. Inspired by her own struggles with anxiety.

Everywhere I go, my worry monster follows... It's there first thing in the morning, when it's time to play, and even when friends comes to visit. But, if you know how to, you can shrink your worry monster down, and things won't seem so bad!

Read with warmth and humour by Nadiya, this playful story will help children and parents talk about their own worry monsters, and how to overcome them.

About the author

Nadiya Hussain (Author)
Never again will she say she can't. Nadiya can and she will.

Nadiya Hussain's delicious bakes and desserts, captivating smile and sparkling personality made her a hugely popular winner of 2015's Great British Bake Off.

Her first children's book, Nadiya's Bake Me a Story, hit the bestseller charts in 2016, and was shortlisted for a British Book Award. The follow-up, Bake Me a Festive Story, is out now. She has also published cookbooks for adults and novels, and has three television series to her name, The Chronicles of Nadiya, Nadiya's British Food Adventure and The Big Family Cooking Showdown. Having suffered with panic disorder herself for as long as she can remember, Nadiya wrote her first picture book, My Monster and Me, to help give children and parents the tools they need to talk about worries and anxiety.

Nadiya's family is originally from Bangladesh, where desserts aren't a feature of mealtimes. But, encouraged by a school home economics teacher, Nadiya honed her skills as a baker over ten years and produces fabulous bakes and desserts every day. She also loves to write, having won a National Poetry competition as a child.

Nadiya lives with her husband, Abdal and is mum to three gorgeous children.
