Tummy Troubles is the story of Gretchen, who loves pizza day at school until a stomach bug causes an embarrassing scene for her in the cafeteria. The story follows Gretchen as she navigates her way through her newly developed fear of vomiting. With the help of her school counselor and the acronym GRIP, Gretchen learns an extremely effective diaphragmatic breathing method that helps reduce the physiological symptoms associated with the fight or flight response, such as digestive distress.

2.5 In this book Gretchen has a little accident when she throws up her pizza and the thought of eating pizza next week makes her anxious. This book gives her a way to deal with it through a fun little acronym, and then practice using that acronym. I wish they‘d found it some other way to do anxiety than around lunch. The lesson in here is attainable and would be usable both in schools and libraries. I just overall not a fan of this book.
