Great book for helping kids with anxiety and teach SEL skills in the classroom. I loved the illustrations and the way they really brought the book to life.

Thanks to NetGalley for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

this book was great for my daughter who struggles with her anxiety. I enjoyed it myself as well!

I loved this book. This subject is very important to me. I cannot wait to read it with my grandson who is nine years old. He lost his father, and feels like he must worry about everything so that it’s not all on his mom. I think this book will be great for him to read and think about what worry really means and what he can do about it.
As far as the actual story, it is cute and charming, easily understandable and relatable. I especially enjoyed the problem-solving ideas. I love the illustrations. They seem to give a whimsical, fun feel to the story.
I think most kids and all adults should be able to relate to the simple ideas shown here to stop worrying about a worry. As adults, I think we often forget how simple things can really be. And I think it’s important to remind children not to make things too complicated. I feel this book does that perfectly.
Thank you to Net Galley for my copy of this book to review.

Was a fun, creepy beautifully done story. I don’t like creepy things so this was the right amount especially for kids.

What a lovely little book! Is a Worry Worrying You? Is basically like a self-help picture book for kids. It describes what a “worry” is, different ways worries can affect a person, and different ways to manage them. It also gives some delightfully absurd examples of worries—what if your new teacher is a bear?! As a mom with an anxious kiddo, I think this is absolutely wonderful!

What a wonderful book! I’ve often thought how sad it was that the little ones have their concerns dismissed because they are little and can’t pososbkt have anything going on! But when you’re that age, anything, no matter how small, can cause such a strain! And like they say, if you listen to then when they are talking about little things, they’ll tell you about the big things later :) my only complaint is it was hard to really see the pictures on the kindle. But I recommend this to anyone with little ones (or older ones!)

What an excellent and important this little book is! This is a book that I would gladly recommend to all the grown ups and all the children alike because everyone worries and mostly no one knows how to deal with it. The author not only addresses the many guises that often the smallest of worries dons on and comes knocking or to use a phrase from the book 'has no manners and barges in'.

I loved the way the author has given everyday causes and symptoms that any child might be able to relate to, to explain what does a worry feel like, how it can manifest itself as a physical ailment or a mental block and how to conquer it. The fact that Wolff has not only spoken about how and what causes us worry but also the ways in which it can be tackled, makes the book a keeper to be reached out for when you are feeling a little lost as a parent or even as an individual.

The illustrations on my Kindle probably do not help me much in making an impression but I am quite sure that they are delightful and engaging in a hard copy of the book.

I am in fact quite surprised that I hadn't come across this book earlier but like they say, better late than never.

This is an interesting picture book about all types of worries. I loved the illustrations that were dark in style, because worries do seem dark, after all. I read this via NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher.

Seriously, where was this book when I was a kid? As a very worry-filled kid, I needed the clever scenarios and reminders this book offers. The “suppose” situations throughout the book are ridiculous enough that they wouldn’t add to an anxious child’s fears. Both parents and kids would find them funny. At first I agreed with other reviewers who thought the illustrations might be too scary, but by the end I thought they fit the book well. I can imagine reading the book with a child, trying to find the “worry” hidden on every page. I will definitely read this with my little daughter one day!

"Is a Worry Worrying You?" by Wolff and Savitz is a perfect read aloud for kids at home and in the classroom. The story and illustrations do a wonderful job relating to how worries affect kids. What Wolff and Savitz do so masterfully is teach kids how to deal with a worry and how to put worries in perspective of what can happen and what will likely happen or not. Also, another empowering message is that kids have control of how they deal with a worry. One of the best options is to send it packing. :) Love, love this story. This is a must have in a classroom library.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

A lighthearted message about mindfulness and how we can all be more mindful of our thoughts, think more positively to avoid the bad things that comes with stress, anxiety, and worry including illness, depression, and insomnia.

Literally, sick with worry! Don’t go about life waiting and worrying about something that has not yet happened. When life throws you a curveball, give it your best and swing for the fences.

While the illustrations were cute and relevant, I think a brighter spectrum of colors would better compliment the positive message of the author. However I can also see how the sporadically placed color within the otherwise muted illustrations could be symbolic of finding the positive light on any situation in the dynamics of the moment, too!

Cute children's book with creative ideas for reducing small stressors that can grow larger over time. It helps keep things simple and objective fun artwork. I received this book from netgalley for an honest review.

I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but I liked it in the end. It started off kinda boring except for the illustrations, which set the tone of the book. However, when I got a little farther into it, it was very informative. The written illustrations of what worrying is and the different situations that worry can infect our lives was fabulous! I would use this for my child, especially since I am a major worrier myself, this made it easier to put into words.

Empowering! This inventive little book makes visible the invisible for young children before abstract thinking enters their reality and before many of them know how to put words to feelings. While children cannot see a worry, they can feel the effects physically and emotionally and this book connects the dots in words and pictures in a recognizable way that will offer light-bulb moments for little ones. Ambiguous feelings are validated and practical options are suggested while the author also offers a contrasting. counterpoint parade of imaginative problems and how to address them instead of feeling trapped. Out of teabags when a hundred elephants come for tea? "Now that's a worry!" But you could always serve lemonade instead! The book normalizes worries by defining what they are and how they make us feel; by informing that everyone gets them from time to time and they show up uninvited. And that's where the power lies along with the knowledge that there are choices in how to deal with them. A beautiful addition to children's literature both conceptually and visually and an important resource on this topic.

This is a sweet children's book about worrying. It provides with funny examples of children's worries and offers solutions. It shows children how not to worry so much.

This children's book was great and was a great way to open up a conversation about worries and fear with my 4 year old. She really enjoyed the story.

This book handles a complicated issue quite well for kids--and even offers good suggestions for adults! While it's not brilliantly written, it offers up enough to lead to good discussion and will leave kids with tools to deal with anxious thoughts when they come.

Is a Worry Worrying You is an excellent book for children who worry a little bit or a lot. The advice in the book about how to deal with worries is written in a kid-friendly format and makes even the biggest worries seem manageable. A wonderful book that is a must purchase for counselors, classroom teachers, and parents.

Is a Worry Worrying You is a fantastic book about what a worry is and how to deal with it when it happens. Worries happen to us all and can feel like a cloud over our heads or a weight on our shoulders. I loved the absurdity of the worries in this story. Even as adults many of our worries will never become reality and it’s absurd to worry about them, and children’s worries are no different.

With colourful fun illustrations and simple language this book is a great tool to help children learn how to deal with their worries in a healthy way.

This was really great. I have absolutely no complaints and I found it very cute. I would recommend it! It would make a great gift.
