What's The Worried Book About

Publisher Summary

A hilariously honest and heartwarming story about anxiety, self-doubt, and the power of positive thinking, The Worried Book shows young readers that it’s OK to worry–what matters is how we respond.The Worried Book is having a bit of a meltdown. “Hi, I can’t wait for you to read me… You are going to read me, right? Wait–what if you don’t like me? What if nobody likes me?!”Meet the most anxious book on the shelf–a nervous narrator who worries about everything that could possibly go wrong. But as the pages turn, this worried book discovers something important: everyone feels anxious sometimes, and the key isn’t to make the worries disappear–it’s learning what to do with them.With warmth, humor, and a gentle touch, The Worried Book invites young readers to acknowledge their “what-if” thoughts and imagine what could go right instead of wrong. A reassuring read for little worriers and the grownups who love them, this story is perfect for classrooms, bedtime, or anytime kids need a comforting perspective.
