Worry Says What?
by Allison Edwards
Worry Says What? is a powerful little book intended for young children but . By personifying Worry, it makes an abstract concept more understandable for kids. It is an empowering book that will make pint-sized worriers feel more confident and more in control.
The child at the center of the story conveys that she hears Worry saying things like you can’t do it, you won’t get it right, the other kids don’t like you, etc. Worry really taunts her at night, saying she isn’t safe and mentions potentially scary things such as strange noises and things hiding in the closet. It realistically conveys that Worry can be present 24/7 and it only has negative consequences. This book shows kids a different approach to take with worry — to confront it head on.
The illustrations are delightful and making worry look a bit like a monster is perfect. I wish I was able to read this book when I was young!
Thank you to NetGalley and the National Center for Youth Issues for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
