Wemberly Worried

Little mouse Wemberly worries about everything – from day to night, inside or out. And, her anxiety increases as she faces a massive event: starting preschool. But, on her first day she makes a new friend who is also a worrier, and having a new friend helps her anxiety diminish and she looks forward to her second day of school. This picture book for K-4 explores what it is like to live with anxiety and can be used as a read-aloud to brainstorm strategies for coping with anxiety and to support a lesson on mental health and growth mindset.
