Customer Reviews

Great story for parents and children to read together! A fun way to learn important skills!

I'm a grandmother of two and retired after spending close to fifty years of working in the area of (mental) health and wellness with high school and then college students. This book is a wonderful way to help early school age kids think about their worries and understand that they are not the only ones and there are fun ways to chase the worries away. The story and characters are true to what I heard from my students about when and how their own worries began. The illustrations are great!. I wished there had been something like this for my own children and former students.
