In this book, Kathleen Mooney uses the character: Worry Worm, to help children externalize their worries and feelings of anxiety. Worry Worm messes with their brains and stops them from thinking positively. The book encourages children to face their fears rather than run away from them. When children, and adults, recognize their fears and understand that the situation is not always as bad as they are feeling, they can have some control and make a plan about how to manage Worry Worm. Children as they face their fears, and make plans about how to manage are brave and strong.
