The Worrysaurus by Rachel Bright; illustrated by Chris Chatterton. Published by Orchard Books, 2020

An EA recently returned this book to the library and I took a minute to read it and thought it was so cute! Poor little Worrysaurus is always worried but takes a minute to stop, think on his mother’s advice that if it isn’t a happy ending then it hasn’t ended yet, and hold some personal items close to help his worries pass. He feels much better and is able to carry on and enjoy his day with a new friend. I appreciate Rachel Bright gave some specific ways to help anxiety and I love the illustrations. When Worrysaurus is worried, the illustrations tend to be darker, and when he is feeling better, they are bright and colourful.
