Swampscott, MA – As mother of three boys, as well as a licensed marriage and family therapist, Anna Svetchnikov has extensive experience working with children and their parents.

Anna is the author of AWESOME TEAM vs CoronaVera, a therapeutic guide for younger children to explain COVID-19 and also to provide a therapeutic tool to overcome anxiety.

AWESOME TEAM vs CoronaVera is one of a remarkable 27 books Anna has published since April, with another 20 scheduled for release. Anna released these therapeutic books for parents to support children and teach them the foundation of emotional regulation and coping skills. The books are all self-published and have been translated into Spanish, Italian, French, German, Russian and Japanese.

“I was inspired and motivated to write the books because I can see that parents are trying very hard right now,” says Anna. “The books are survival manuals with storytelling.”
