Ruby Finds a Worry
By Tom Percival
Ruby is a happy, curious girl. But one day
she finds something unexpected: a Worry.
It's not such a big Worry at first. But every
day, it grows a little bigger. Eventually, the
Worry is enormous and is all she can think
about. This poignant story is the perfect
springboard for talking to children about
emotional intelligence and sharing hidden
anxieties. Available from

or even death, love is the unending
connection that binds us all. Available
