A huge thanks to Netgalley and Tanglewood Press for an eARC of this children's book in exchange for my honest review. Give this book to your children! Give this book to your students or the other children in your life. I believe this book will help a lot of children who suffer from anxiety as the book accurately depicts what anxiety looks like and how it feels while also providing concrete ways to deal with said anxiety. I will definitely be passing this on to my nieces and nephews.

This short picture book with its charming illustrations about worrying and finding a solution to stop worrying is better than millions of complicated self-help books.

It is so frank and true about worrying and anxiety that it makes an adult like myself feel wonderful by reading it.
I am an autistic adult who is going through deadlines and critiques for my work by my supervisor. Of course, I am worried.
Hence, this book is brilliant for everyone—adults and children alike. This wonderful book has given me a chance to focus on my actual visible worries and forget about the non-existing ones. It is an outstanding book to find a solution and a way to differentiate between the illusion of anxiety and the actual one, with a solution for both.

What if the worst happens? There is always a way to overcome worries.

This was a wonderful story that helps explain the idea of anxiety to a younger audience. It is so important that books like this continue to be published, and that mental health is talked about starting at a young age.

The book "Is a Worry Worrying you", is a quaint little book for children and adults can enjoy too. One can learn why worrying will worry you. and how to not worry anymore.
The writing just compliments the story as a whole. The illustrations are unique and whimsical. I enjoyed reading it to my little one. It would be a book that we would read nightly.

Children’s, Self-Esteem

Everyone suffers from worrying at some point in their lives. When it is a child who worries, it is hard for him/her to understand that worrying does not solve the problem This book describes problems that cause worries and possible solutions to handle them. I loved this book and learned how to seal up and mail my worries. Even though this is a children’s book, an adult can learn a thing or two.

This book should be in every early year library.

I had anxiety as a child and didn't understand why. This books doesn't only help explain the worry, it gives you ideas on how to pack it away. It makes you chuckle while thinking hey this is me. This is how I feel.
Great Great book

As an elementary school counselor there were a lot of things I appreciated about this book!

I loved that the book started out by explaining what a worry is (a thought that stops you from having fun, feeling good, and being happy). A very easy to understand and relate to definition for even the youngest of children.

I also appreciated that the book explains what worry feels like (tiredness,sadness, sickness, like a heavy sack on your back). It also gives solutions for how to deal with different types of worries and explains that everyone has worries including parents and teachers!

The examples of worries seem outrageous at first (a gorilla on the playground borrows your skateboard and doesn’t return it when he says he would) but is sure to illicit giggles and although it’s unlikely a child will have to worry about a gorilla not returning their toy, many will relate to the problems presented in this story!

A great addition to a school library, this book can foster communication on worries and how to manage them. Equal parts silly and practical, this book qoffera advice on how to confront and accept anxiety. Worries will barge in uninvited, but what we will do with them once they arrive?

Such an amazing book! It explains the effect worrying can have on you, assures you that worrying is normal but tells you creative things you can do to get rid of your worries, and does it all in a fun and easy way for kids to understand. This is a must have for all children home libraries.

A sweet, encompassing look at all the different kinds of worries we carry. This story not only explains all the different forms worry can take but also has suggestions for ways to fix them, ignore them, or face them. It does this by giving creatively bizarre examples of things that are "certainly a worry!"
I highly recommend this to young children who are dealing with anxieties or fears, and maybe even to frazzled moms who need a fun reminder to shut the door on things we can't control.

Everybody has worries sometimes, but they're not very helpful (and they never clean up a mess, in case you wondered).

If you have worries that hang around, this practical book with effective illustrations, explains what a worry is (how to recognize one), and provides examples of worry types and worry solutions.

Sometimes you find yourself facing a worry, and you freeze. That's understandable! But you could save yourself time and pain by pulling out this book, flipping to the appropriate page, and making that worry disappear!

I don't have many elephants over for tea, or monsters under my bed, or birds nesting in my hair, but I did have trouble sleeping a few nights ago, and this book would have been helpful then!

This book was written for children (4-7 years), but the situations and solutions are ageless. It would be a nice gift, or a reminder for yourself. And the illustrations are fun to examine and laugh about. (Plus, it's all good psychological advice.)

5/5 Stars, and no worries!

We read this with our pre-school class and a few definitely were a little frightened by the Worry in the book because of the illustration. But, overall, it was a really great teaching mechanism for anxiety (which we all have these days).

Worry, it's just a word that has a big impact in your life only if you let it.

This book shows that worrying is normal, but it doesn't have to control your life you can ease it by doing something that can solve your problem it's just your way of thinking about the situation at hand. The author says that you can acknowledge it, but you can also get rid of it at anytime you want; it just takes an effort.

This book gave me big Tim Burton vibes! I loved the darkness of the illustrations. The theme of not letting your worries get to you was really great, and any child experiencing worries should read this book!

I wish there had been books like this when I was a child! It explains how worries work and what can be done to cope with them in a kid-friendly story filled with humor. Conversations can be started about anxiety using this book. Highly recommended!

Is a Worry Worrying You? by Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz is a humorous children's book about dealing with worrying. The story revolves around a young girl who is dealing with "worry," personified as a blue monster that tries to give her irrational worries. According to the description, "Adults think of childhood as a carefree time, but the truth is that children worry, and worry a lot, especially in our highly pressurized era."

Overall, Is a Worry Worrying You? is a children's book that will teach children about how ridiculous some worries are and how to deal with them. One highlight of this book is the story, which will help some children realize that their worries are nothing to worry about after all. I took off 2 stars, because the artwork just wasn't appealing to me. It reminded me of the gothic art style in some children's books, like Edward Gorey's. If you're intrigued by the description, you can check out this book, which is available now!

I love this book!

As a worrier, I approve this book for all children so they learn early about anxiety and the ways to face it and deal with it.

I loved this look at such a real and important topic with humor, by twisting the thoughts slightly the worries are easily dealt with and I loved that perspective and need to remember that myself.

I definitely recommend this to any child who finds themselves wondering about what ifs, this may help turn the thoughts into positives.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

Definitely one for older children, as the narrative features many lines per page and slightly higher cognitive ideas. However, this can be a wonderful read for grown-ups and their littles to read together. This book gives examples and accessible imagery for children to use as tools in articulating their feelings. A good resource for grown-ups to have around when their little ones need some assurance.

3.5 stars

Imaginative but creepy.

The pictures remind me of Tim Burton's style, which I enjoy. But your child might find them a little scary. If your child is prone to worrying then I wouldn't recommend this. The unlikely scenarios might cause them to be hyperaware and begin to worry about every little thing.

The book does teach kids to be problem-solvers. But it is also too long-winded for the age group. There are probably more practical books (with real-life examples) out there on the topic of worrying.

Many times adults think that children have nothing to worry about when actually, many times they often do, In fact, there's a lot of times, and many children, who can't or won't let any grown-ups know about their worries. Maybe they're too afraid, or simply think they'll be told they're being silly. Whatever the case may be, whether they tell someone or not, this book can be a great tool in helping them out. It lets them know what a worry is and gives them lots of examples of how they can get rid of them. It also validates their feelings, letting the child know that there's always an adult, be it a parent, teacher, or even their best friends mama who will want to listen to and help them with troubles. I'm giving Is a Worry Worrying You? a 4-star review.
