Sometimes When I'm Worried
CCBC Review:
A girl (white) describes the many ways she feels and acts when worried: scared, nervous stomach, reluctant to try to new things, problems sleeping, and not wanting to go to school or play with friends. In each scenario, a supportive family member (she has two dads and a sister) acknowledges her concerns and suggests concrete coping mechanisms that help her feel better, including deep belly breathing, trying new things one step at a time, stretching like a cat, and remembering “that you can have a nice time even if you’re scared in the beginning.” A six-page “Guide for Caring Adults” offers information about anxiety in children and suggestions on ways to help. ©2023 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
