LEARNING TO COPE

Clifford the Big Red Dog is coming to

the big screen. The live-action movie

is based on the popular book series

and animated television show of the

same name.

In the film, middle schooler Emily

Elizabeth meets a magical animal res-

cuer who gives her a red puppy named

Clifford. But this little dog has a big

surprise for Emily. She wakes up in her

tiny New York City apartment to find

that, overnight, Clifford has gr own to

be 10 feet tall. She and her uncle Casey

must learn how to care for and protect

their new pet.

Actress DARBY CAMP, 14, plays

Emily. She told TIME for Kids that she

admires her character. Emily struggles

to make friends and overcome bullies.

Darby is hopeful that kids with simi-

lar problems will watch the movie and

see that they aren’t alone. “I hope that

kids will learn to accept people’s differ-

ences—because that’s what makes people

unique,” she says. —By Karena Phan

TIME OFF

In Living with Viola, Livy is going through a lot.

She’s having trouble fi tting in at her new school.

She’s having trouble living up to her parents’ high

expectations. And there’s Viola, a shadowy version

of Livy that follows her everywhere, telling her

she’s not good enough. Viola causes Livy self-

doubt and even panic attacks.

Author ROSENA FUNG created Viola to give a

voice to Livy’s anxiety. Fung was inspired by her

own experiences. “When I have anxiety, I hear my

own voice in my head, telling me bad things,” she

told TFK. “It follows me everywhere I go.”

Livy learns to manage her anxiety using

strategies like breathing exercises and cooking.

“Not every coping strategy will work for everyone,”

Fung says. “But I want kids to know that help is

out there.” —By Shay Maunz
