Summary

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 is all she can think about。

But when Ruby befriends a young boy， she discovers that everyone has worries， and not only that， there's a great way to get rid of them too 。 。 。

This perceptive and poignant story is the perfect springboard for talking to children about emotional intelligence and sharing hidden anxieties。

The Big Bright Feelings picture books provide kid-friendly entry points into emotional intelligence topics--from being true to yourself， to worrying， to anger management， to 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。

Story: 4Illustrations: 4Read aloud: 4A creative， relatable story that illustrates how feeling worried can affect all aspects of our lives。 Talking about worries really is helpful， and for lots of children this could be a helpful strategy。 However， for a child struggling with anxiety， I felt that the message is over-simplified。

Ruby's worry introduces the idea of taking about worries， to make them shrink。 This is an especially useful message to teach to children in the current climate。 Ruby notices that， like herself， another child is accompanied by a "worry" （in this case， represented by a scribbly cloud） and decides to talk to him about it。 I only wish that the book introduced the suggestion of taking to a grown-up， too。On the whole， a fantastic （COVID appropriate） book for EYFS and Key Stage One pupils。 Ruby's worry introduces the idea of taking about worries， to make them shrink。 This is an especially useful message to teach to children in the current climate。 Ruby notices that， like herself， another child is accompanied by a "worry" （in this case， represented by a scribbly cloud） and decides to talk to him about it。 I only wish that the book introduced the suggestion of taking to a grown-up， too。On the whole， a fantastic （COVID appropriate） book for EYFS and Key Stage One pupils。 。。。more

While I’m thinking about picture books， there’s one more I have to give a 5-star rating to here on my personal account: Ruby Finds a Worry。 This book made me cry！ It is so well done and the illustrations are adorable。 But the best part is the sentiment about worrying and how our worries are alleviated by speaking them out loud， especially to people who care about us。 As an adult， this message resonated loudly with me， and it made me hope it has the same impact on children who read it。 It’s also While I’m thinking about picture books， there’s one more I have to give a 5-star rating to here on my personal account: Ruby Finds a Worry。 This book made me cry！ It is so well done and the illustrations are adorable。 But the best part is the sentiment about worrying and how our worries are alleviated by speaking them out loud， especially to people who care about us。 As an adult， this message resonated loudly with me， and it made me hope it has the same impact on children who read it。 It’s also extra special since my oldest daughter’s name is Ruby。 💓 Highly recommend for readers of all ages！ 。。。more

This book is incredibly endearing。 Ruby gets worried and she finds solutions on how to get rid of her worries。 Really brings to life how to handle an emotion like worry。 In a sweet story， the reader gets good advice on how to handle feeling worried。 Reassuring and relatable。 This is a book I would recommend reading to children。

If I'm worried about something it would never appear the way it does in the book。 It's just fiction， I think。 If I'm worried about something it would never appear the way it does in the book。 It's just fiction， I think。 。。。more

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

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

I love the illustrations and the clear picture of how to handle being full of worry。 Adults should use it as well。

Speaks to everyone that has ever had a worry。 Perfect for beginning of school。

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。

Reilley Clay ，

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

What a great perspective。 Children will gain a better understanding of the emotion of worry with this book。 Cute illustrations。 Simple text。 Easy to comprehend。 Ruby is so adorable。

Mary ，

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。
