AWAY — A 6 to 96 Story About Stress
PREMIUM / SHOWCASE
One of Aunt Lake’s World’s signature illustrated experiences.
A 6–96 Book
Same Story. Different Life. Different Meaning.
Stress doesn't have an age limit. At 8 it may be school or fitting in. At 28 it may be work, money or relationships. At 58 it may be family and responsibility. At 88 it may simply be a world that keeps changing.
AWAY turns that shared human experience into something we can actually see: what if our worries became so heavy they carried us right off the ground?
Different ages will laugh at different moments, recognize different worries, and discover different ways back down.
You bring your age. The story meets you there.
AWAY — A 6 to 96 Story About Stress
What happens when stress gets so big it can actually carry you away?
In AWAY, that idea becomes wonderfully literal. One ordinary morning, people around a small lakeside town begin floating off the ground. A barber rises from his chair. A baker drifts toward the ceiling. A farmer leaves his tractor. Before long, even the mayor has a problem on his hands.
At the center of the story is Maya, a young girl who begins to notice something important: the more people worry, the higher they seem to go.
This richly illustrated story for ages 6 to 96 turns stress and worry into an imaginative adventure filled with humor, animals, neighbors, unexpected situations—and practical lessons that can be used in everyday life.
Along the way, readers discover THE WAY BACK DOWN, a simple grounding toolkit:
Notice • Pause • Sort the Worry • Accept Help • Share the Load • Make One Plan • Come Back to Now
AWAY reminds us that being responsible doesn't mean doing everything alone—and sometimes the first step back down is realizing we don't have to carry everything ourselves.
30 illustrated pages • Digital PDF • Ages 6–96
When stress grows too big, it can carry you away.
