By Kristen J. Lloyd and Jon Skidmore Psy.D.
The Latest Brave Adventure Arrives on June 22nd!
Ani can’t wait to collect Grandma’s eggs for the first time, but when disaster happens, Ani finds herself feeling very, VERY scrambled!
Can Honeybee help her feel better?
Unscrambling Anxiety
From a Cow’s Perspective
Just like Kristen J. Lloyd’s previous book, “Find Your Brave”, Ani and Honeybee’s New “UNscrambling” adventure is destined to help many anxious kids feel more confident.
It tackles this in three ways:
Calming Anxiety
When Ani first becomes anxious or “Scrambled”, Honeybee knows she needs to calm down. So they do something only a cow would think of. . .
Transforming Ugly Thoughts
Ani struggles to see through her scrambled thoughts, so Honeybee comes up with a great way to help them fly away.
Fixing Mistakes
Once Ani’s thoughts are calm, Ani doesn’t know how to fix her mistake. Honeybee helps her realize that she has everything she needs, she just has to move forward.
When does the book come out?
“Ani Gets Unscrambled” Is in the final stages of production, and will be officially ready to ship on June 22nd.
However, you can pre-order your copy for the early bird Price between now and May 15th!

“[Ani’s] story has become part of my family’s vocabulary. [ ] My adult daughter deals with an illness that requires her to have treatment that has really scared her. [She] has since decided to “find her brave” and accept the necessary treatment for her illness. It is still very scary for her, but she is ‘finding her brave”. Thank you Kristen!”

“I purchased [Find Your Brave] for my daughter for us to read together. She deals with some anxiety, so I figured it would be a good story for her about facing her fears. It’s a sweet and encouraging story. When it was over she stated a profound “Read it again!” And I think it will be read many times over in our home.”

Fun Facts About
“Ani Gets Unscrambled”
Each book has a Song
The first book, “Find Your Brave” started as a song called “My Brave”. To keep with this tradition, Kristen wrote a song for “Ani Gets Unscrambled” as well, called “Butterfly Forward”. This song will also be released on June 22nd.
Dedicated to Grandma
Kristen’s Grandma raised her on the family farm, which is why Kristen is excited to feature Grandma in this book. Her Grandma also gave Honeybee to Kristen (knowing how much she loved her cow), which makes dedicating this book to Grandma even more meaningful.
Paying it Forward
Psychologist Jon Skidmore Psy.D. changed Kristen’s life when she first took his psychology class at Brigham Young University in 2017. Now they have teamed up to co-write “Ani Gets Unscrambled” together to make a difference!
Award-winning Pedigree
“Find Your Brave” received four children’s book awards in 2023. But the real reward is the hundreds of thousands of young lives who Found their Brave because of it. Our dream is to create that same impact with “Ani Gets Unscrambled”.
