"Is a Worry Worrying You?...offers a lighthearted way for kids to confront, and then get past, their anxieties."— Teacher Magazine
Adults think of childhood as a carefree time, but the truth is that children worry, and worry a lot. This story addresses common childhood worries - a bully, first day at school, and a monster residing under the bed, with the not-so-common worries. This entertaining and humorous use of perspective and creative problem-solving will appeal to children and parents looking for help in dealing with a universal issue.
This story, read at home, or in a class, can generate a lot of discussion about things that worry children and how they can make their worries go away or find alternative solutions.
Is A Worry Worrying You? is based on the book by the same name written by Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz, illustrated by Marie LeTourneau. It is also a part of our StoriesAlive subscription app.

▶ ENHANCE CREATIVITY BY PERSONALIZING THE STORY:
- You can write your own version of the text for the book
- Personalize the narration: kids or parents can record the narration to make it their own!

▶ DEVELOP READING SKILLS WITH THESE LITERACY TOOLS:
- Karaoke effect - when a word is spoken during narration then the word is highlighted
- Touch a word to hear it being spoken in “Read Myself” mode (almost like “training wheels” for new readers)
▶ THREE WAYS TO READ THE BOOK:
1) "Read to me" - Listen to the narrated story while the text is displayed Karaoke style.
2) "Auto Play" - same as "Read to Me" except the page advances automatically once the narration is finished. Useful for those long car rides when you want the child to have a complete book experience.
3) "Read myself" - There is no narration but the child can touch a word to hear it being spoken aloud.
