Is a Worry Worrying You?

The book “Is a Worry Worrying you”, is a quaint little book for children and adults can enjoy too. One can learn why worrying will worry you. and how to not worry anymore.
The writing just compliments the story as a whole. The illustrations are unique and whimsical. I enjoyed reading it to my little one. It would be a book that we would read nightly.

It is a book about worries, from the most simple one to the most extravagant one, and simple steps to get rid of them. The illustrations were quite dark/creepy to me and made me feel tensed as I was reading it. I would have preferred an art style that makes me feel relaxed and calm instead.

Thank you NetGalley and Tanglewood for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

In today's contemporary society, worrying seems to happen at a younger and younger age every year. The Book Is a Worry Worrying You? by Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz explain to children what a worry actually is, and try to teach them how to cope, suggestion ways to deal with their fears.

“A worry is a thought that stops your from having fun, from feeling good, from being happy. Don't bother looking for a worry because you'll never find it. It is invisible. But it seems very real.”

Great definition of what a worry is; well explain to children. But that explanation and the illustrations are pretty much the only things I liked about this book. As I read on, I couldn't stop thinking “how is that ever going to be helpful to a kid prone to anxiety?”

...

For a kid of reading age, this book would probably be more amusing than educational.

The illustrations are gorgeous; there isn't a doubt about that. A young child would have a lot of fun looking at the pictures and making up their own stories.
