Tangled Up

by Jamie Edelbrock

Your heart and soul are full of beautiful, colorful, vibrant threads, and you deserve to shine. Studies show one in six kids between the ages of two-and eight-years-old have a mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. Navigating this world as a parent can be scary, but experiencing this as a young child can be even scarier. Tangled Up is intended to lessen the fear of the unknown and shines a positive, peaceful light on mental health and therapy. It colorfully shows how the beautiful threads of us can become tangled, and how therapists and counselors are here to help us twirl bravely through life.

Excellent!! It VERY much helped my child open up and talk about feelings when they were stressed instead of holding them in and blowing. It has opened up positive pathways to healthy conversations. Thank you for writing this book!! A go to gift for anyone! As classic as The Places You'll Go or The Giving Tree. Is now my go to baby shower and birthday gifts for parents and kids. Thank you for this book!

Jamie so masterfully communicates that “you were meant to twirl bravely through this life” and normalizes the reality that we all get tangled up from time to time and need outside help!

With meaningful words and colorful graphics, Jamie communicates timely, hope-filled, and much-needed message that being tangled up doesn’t last forever! So grateful for this message!
