Wemberly Worried

My 8 year old worrier is extremely anxious about starting a new school, and this story is a great help in processing the emotions and anticipation of the first day of school. Wemberly finds that some of the things she worried about actually turned out opposite of what she was expecting, even finding a kindred spirit friend on the first day of school. Brought a tear to my eye. Definitely recommend this to any kiddos experiencing anxiety about school.

The students in my classroom loved this book. Especially the students who never been to school before. It helped them transition to the classroom.

My 5 year old daughter is a big worry-wort. I don't know where she gets it from, but worry, worry, worry is what she does. A friend recommended this book, and I am so glad she did. I didn't give my daughter much background, just started reading. Wemberly worries about everything big and small. There are cute illustrations to go with each simply written page. At the end of the story, Wemberly makes a new friend and learns she does not need to worry so much.As I read the book to my daughter for the first time, her smile grew and grew, especially when we read about Wemberly rubbing the ears of her special rabbit, the way my daughter does with her "lovey." When we got to the end, she immediately asked me to read it again, and then again two more times. After the initial reads, we had a really good heart to heart about worries. Seeing Wemberly overcome her worries helped more than me saying "don't worry." I won't say my worry-wort has been magically reformed, but the book was a good conversation starter that was on her level. I highly recommend for the little worrier in your life.

This book was recommended by a friend because my daughter is constantly worrying. This book has helped, immensely. I’ve already recommended it to several friends, who have also found it helpful.

Honestly, left a lot to desire as a child’s book. It talks about worry but does a terrible job explaining the term.

As a speech language pathologist, I like to teach kids about specific emotions. This book was recommended to me by a child psychologist with whom I collaborate to help kids with selective mutism. I have read this book to many children and they all seem to love it. Many of the illustrations provide a perfect springboard for helping kid label and discuss emotions, make inferences and predict outcomes. Questions I commonly ask while reading this book: "How is Wemberly feeling now? How do you think she will feel about going to school tomorrow? She spilled her juice - is that a small problem or a big problem? Have you ever been worried?" Many of my kids have asked if they can borrow this book for a week and I simply can't refuse - so I bought myself an extra copy.

This is a lovely book for little ones who are getting ready to start kindergarten or preschool. While this likely gets selected most of all for children who express a lot of worries, it’s also great to share with kids who are thrilled to try new things. Why? It gives them a chance to develop empathy and understanding for their friends — and for families to talk about how to help out friends who seem scared, nervous or shy.Overall, it’s a sweet, simple story about looking to adults and other kids when faced with fears.

A must-have book for your worriers, big or little. I once owned a business and had several really great kids working with me. One of them worried about EVERTHING ALL THE TIME. She was the kind of person who really didn't have to worry about anything. But she kept worrying . Now she is an elementary school teacher and she reads it every year to her "worriers". I also gave one to my own 15-year old worrier just recently. Wemberly will stay with whoever reads it for a lifetime.

The book was delivered promptly. My 2 year old loves this book when I read it to him. Its a great book to introduce kids to nursery and help them provide assurance and comfort. We love this book!

Very pleased with this book which was delivered quickly.

Good read we found it to be very useful for children

The book itself was great. My 7 year old having high anxiety after getting covid used this to help himself calm down. only negative and this isnt the books fault, was I was sent emails twice saying payment was declined, even though it went through and ended up with 2 copies. Gave to his friend who is also having anxiety issues right now, so it was worth it in the end.

They were put into the welcome to kinder bags! The students and their families loved them.
