Book Review: Is A Worry Worrying You? by Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz
Is a worry worrying you? If you are my 8-year-old daughter the answer is yes. If you are me, the answer is also yes. Ellie loved all the whimsy examples of worrying, and I loved watching her laugh away her worries. From the book: Suppose, just suppose, one hundred elephants come to tea and you discover you don’t have any tea bags. uh, oh. What will you do with a herd of thirsty elephants? Now, that’s a worry! But you can get rid of that worry by offering the elephants lemonade instead. Mom, she said, we can make lemonade if we don’t have anything to drink!
What I love about this book is the different coping mechanisms written in a way that kids can understand. After each “worry” we talked about what we would do to make that worry go away, along with the suggestions in the book.
The illustrations were both fun and colorful and made the story a beautiful read. I would recommend this book to anyone with a child or children who are worriers or have issues with anxiety. It addresses a hard subject in a relaxed, gentle way. This is a gem in the world of Children’s Literature.

A Little Mushroom: A Poem by my 8 year old daughter
A little mushroom was going on a walk
Because he liked to walk and talk
He went to see his friend
And it was a girl mushroom named Linda
Linda and Mushroom tripped on a rock
They fell over
They both hit their heads on the sidewalk
Then they walked home and played games
After they played games they had a snack
Then they had vanilla ice cream
Then they went to bed
