One of the best books I've read about emotions and specifically， anxiety。 This book could even help many adults。 The solution is a little bit haste in my opinion but overall an excellent book。 My hope is that everyone will have someone who will listen to them like the kids had in this book。 One of the best books I've read about emotions and specifically， anxiety。 This book could even help many adults。 The solution is a little bit haste in my opinion but overall an excellent book。 My hope is that everyone will have someone who will listen to them like the kids had in this book。 。。。more

OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK！！ What a great way to talk about your feelings than to see worry manifested in this unique way。 Great book to have now to use as a way to discuss how kids are feeling as we all get through this pandemic。

This relatable and simple picture book is refreshing reading for kids and parents dealing with uncertainty and anxiety。 One day a worry popped into Ruby’s life。 Small at first， she paid it little mind。 No one else could see the worry， so no big deal--right？ But the worry hung around。 And grew。 The worry weighs Ruby down， and one day she sees a boy in the park who’s carrying around a worry of his own。 She knows what an awful feeling it is to lug around a worry， so she asks him if he’d like to tal This relatable and simple picture book is refreshing reading for kids and parents dealing with uncertainty and anxiety。 One day a worry popped into Ruby’s life。 Small at first， she paid it little mind。 No one else could see the worry， so no big deal--right？ But the worry hung around。 And grew。 The worry weighs Ruby down， and one day she sees a boy in the park who’s carrying around a worry of his own。 She knows what an awful feeling it is to lug around a worry， so she asks him if he’d like to talk about it。 The boy shares his worry， and it shrinks to nothing。 Ruby shares her worry too and soon it’s gone。 Ruby finds friendship and a heart-to-heart talk are key in helping overcome worries。 Though the resolution to the worry is simplified， this book shares how important it is to confide in someone when you come across something you just can’t handle on your own。 A straightforward story to use to start a conversation with kids about their concerns。 。。。more

The story Ruby Finds a Worry is a great social and emotional learning tool。 The book starts off by describing Ruby and how she feels and what she likes to do。 It describes how she is happy until she finds a Worry。 Ruby's worry is not such a big Worry， at first。 But every day， it grows a little bigger until eventually， the Worry is ENORMOUS and is all she can think about。 As we continue reading， Ruby finds a friend in a young boy and realizes that everyone has worries and the best way to get rid The story Ruby Finds a Worry is a great social and emotional learning tool。 The book starts off by describing Ruby and how she feels and what she likes to do。 It describes how she is happy until she finds a Worry。 Ruby's worry is not such a big Worry， at first。 But every day， it grows a little bigger until eventually， the Worry is ENORMOUS and is all she can think about。 As we continue reading， Ruby finds a friend in a young boy and realizes that everyone has worries and the best way to get rid of them， is to talk about it with others。This is a great book because teaches readers that its okay to have worries， but if we don't acknowledge our worries， they can grow。 This book can act as sensitive and inclusive foundation for conversations about mental and emotional health and managing feelings。 In terms of the illustrations， there are both gender and racial representations showing that all types of people may have a Worry。 It is aimed for a younger audience but explains in a non-scary way， how to work with things like fear and anxiety。 It shows the children that they are not alone in their fears。 I love this book！！！ 。。。more

This is a book about Ruby and the small worry she had that made her feel sad worried and scared。 A good book to read to students about feelings and talking to someone about it is a good way to get rid of worries that are bugging you。

This book is so great for opening up and introducing mental health to younger children。 This can especially help children who have anxiety， i think this book could really help them relate and reassure them that they're not alone and how they feel can actually be pretty common。 I think this book could also act as a comfort agent for children with anxiety and could possibly help them calm down and feel more comfortable in their surroundings。 Plus the images are so adorable help make the whole book This book is so great for opening up and introducing mental health to younger children。 This can especially help children who have anxiety， i think this book could really help them relate and reassure them that they're not alone and how they feel can actually be pretty common。 I think this book could also act as a comfort agent for children with anxiety and could possibly help them calm down and feel more comfortable in their surroundings。 Plus the images are so adorable help make the whole book。 。。。more

A sweet story about how our worries get so big that they can stop us from doing the things we want to do。 Ruby learns that talking with other people about our worries can help everyone feel better。 It also helps to know you aren’t alone: everyone has worries！ Of course， some of us have more worries than others。 This book will help families with anxious children。

Delightful story about a young girl， Ruby， who discovers a small worry that follows her everywhere。 As she dwells on it， the worry grows larger until it is all she can see。 No one else can see her worry and she doesn't share it。 Then she sees someone else with a worry and gets them to share。 They both discover how much better it is to share their worries and to see them shrink and sometimes disappeare。A valuable lesson for kids of all ages。 Percival shares this message in a relatable way for ele Delightful story about a young girl， Ruby， who discovers a small worry that follows her everywhere。 As she dwells on it， the worry grows larger until it is all she can see。 No one else can see her worry and she doesn't share it。 Then she sees someone else with a worry and gets them to share。 They both discover how much better it is to share their worries and to see them shrink and sometimes disappeare。A valuable lesson for kids of all ages。 Percival shares this message in a relatable way for elementary level readers。 。。。more

Tää kirja oli kyllä aivan loistava。 Ihana kuvitus ja selkeä tarina siitä kuinka huoli voi syntyä， kasvaa ja kuinka huolesta pääsee eroon。 Suosittelen。

A very clever way to illustrate and talk about worries with children in a sensitive and fun way。 A lovely BAME picture book too。 This worked well when talking about worries in PSHE with reception。
