🌟 This Mental Health Awareness Month, My son Judah and I are excited to highlight our journey with "Max & The Purple Anxiety Monster" through a special feature on Microsoft Unlocked! Diving into the creative process behind the book, this article shares how we harnessed AI to visually narrate childhood anxiety, transforming challenges into triumphs. 👨👦 Born from Judah's personal experiences at 10 years old, this book is a testament to the strength found in a father and son facing our fears together. We invite you to read more about our story and the impact it's making at Microsoft Unlocked: https://lnkd.in/gN8gEbDz #MentalHealthAwareness #ChildrensBooks #Microsoft365 #Microsoft #AI #FamilyProject #Storytelling A special thanks goes to Karina Reck and the Unlocked team for pulling this together!

I appreciate the message this is trying to get across, suffering from anxiety myself. It’s a real shame that AI was used to make this though
Such a great way to teach kids and parents how to communicate about and address anxiety! I think this and the upcoming Inside Out 2 will help children and adults identify and be able to reach out to one another when anxiety is impacting them.
I like the concept, I hope it reaches allot of people who need it. Good work.
Just finished reading and such a beautiful story! Judah is not only brave but so creative and as someone who still deals with anxiety this was amazing to read. Anxiety certainly feels like a monster at times and it was so reassuring and inspiring how Judah tackled this problem. Love this!! Jon Friedman

3wBeautiful concept of how anxiety can make someone feel. Keep showing others to never be afraid to reach out with these beautiful illustrations. Not only does it linger in the background, it can halt so many parts to someone’s life. Love the storyline 💙
