Our kids have a lot to worry about these days. Will they be going back to school? If they do, will they be with their friends?
Wemberly’s here to help your child open up about their worries.
Wemberly is a sweet little mouse who worries about everything. She worries that the tree will fall on her house and that no one will come to her party. Most of all, she has a long list of worries about the first day of school.
Leave it to Kevin Henkes, my all-time favourite children’s author, to normalize anxiety for kids and parents alike. Henkes illustrations of worried Wemberly will make you smile. He shares a realistic perspective that worries won’t just disappear for some kids.
He also offers hope.
Sometimes doing the thing we fear most, can bring you a gift in the form of a new friend.
Helps with: normalizing anxiety, worries and fears, starting school, friendship, and trying new things.
