A review by nmramirez
Wilma Jean the Worry Machine by Julia Cook

4.0

My second Julia Cook book of the day, and again it doesn't fail. As an elementary school counselor, I've noticed that many of my students struggle with anxiety. This book helps validate those feelings and helps them understand that the "what if's" are often what keep us from having a better day. I think that after reading this, many kids might have a better understanding of the role they play in controlling their own anxiety. I will be reading this with my small groups that focus on anxiety, and doing the activity within the story (worries I CAN control vs. worries I CANNOT).
