Ruby Finds a Worry - Paperback

by Tom Percival (Author)

What do you do when a worry won't leave you alone? This beloved picture book from the Big Bright Feelings series is perfect for reassuring young readers in times of stress.

Meet Ruby-a happy, curious, imaginative girl. But one day, she finds something unexpected: a Worry. It's not such a big Worry, at first. But every day, it grows a little bigger...and a little bigger...until eventually, the Worry is ENORMOUS and all she can think about. Can she ever feel happy again?

But then Ruby discovers that everyone has worries, and not only that, there's a great way to get rid of them too...she just has to share her feelings. This perceptive and poignant story is the perfect springboard for talking to children about emotions and anxieties.

The Big Bright Feelings picture book series provides kid-friendly entry points into emotional intelligence topics-from being true to yourself to dealing with worries, managing anger, and making friends. These topics can be difficult to talk about. But these books act as sensitive and reassuring springboards for conversations about mental and emotional health, positive self-image, building self-confidence, and managing feelings.
