I was just taking a train journey on a sunny afternoon when I felt a sudden and overwhelming sense of dread. For some reason, my heart was pounding as though I was about to jump out of a plane with only a plastic bag for a parachute. The feeling intensified when I realised I couldn't understand any of the train announcements, or anything that anyone around me was saying. All I could hear was an indecipherable gobble-de-gook. The whole thing lasted for about five minutes, during which I used up a lifetime's supply of adrenaline and was completely terrified. If your child has a worry - and all children do have worries - this is the ideal book to encourage them to talk about it' Parents In Touch

Session plans linked to Ruby's Worry and Ravi's Roar, both by Tom Percival, to help children share and understand their feelings and to help create a sense of belonging in their new environment (can be used for nursery, reception and Year 1) No one else could see her Worry, so Ruby tried to ignore it. The more she ignored the Worry, it grew bigger and bigger. It followed her everywhere, stopping her from doing the things she loved. Soon the Worry was so ENORMOUS and overwhelming that it was all she could think about. What Ruby didn’t realise was this is the worst thing you can do with a Worry. Maybe it's not going to be the whole solution, but it's always the starting point, and once you know where to start, who knows how far you'll go? I didn't specify what Ruby is worried about in the book because ultimately, it doesn't matter what the actual problem is - the solution will always be found by opening up about your worries and talking them through with someone, ideally someone thoughtful, sensible and sensitive! I have anxiety. More importantly, I parent a child with severe anxiety. If I had read this to her when she was younger, it would have made her so sad. Talking about her worries does not make them go away. We have tried that. In fact, if she starts talking about them, it sometimes magnifies them and she can't think about anything else. This book would have made her worry even more that she was not normal because talking about her worries doesn't fix them.

Nice art and story, even if the solution to worrying is super simplified, causing much scoffing from my wife who has spent a great portion of her life engaged in worries. Activities for introducing early years children to the concept of mindfulness, linked to the book Happy: A Children’s Book of Mindfulness. My daughter and I both loved this book. It's such an important subject and will help children understand that worries can be normal, other people have them too, but they can also get out of hand if you don't deal with them properly. Ruby’s Worry is about a typical little girl, Ruby. This sweet little girl enjoys the swings and exploring, but Ruby’s world begins to change when she finds a worry following her. At first the worry is just a small fuzz ball, but as the story progresses, the worry grows. As the worry expands, Ruby begins to feel very sad and concerned. To return to her former carefree self, Ruby finds a conversation and the friendship of another child the key to removing her worry ball from her life.

I relate to Ruby hardcore. Growing up, I also used to think that I was the only one with these worries that wouldn't go away and I couldn't really talk about it because that just wasn't what you did. Ruby's "worry" is seen initially as a small yellow creature--like a dust ball. But the "worry" grows and grows and GROWS until it takes up half the school bus, and many rows in a movie theater, and it's a fun story, just as a story!. But it was the nineties, so you have to give me a break. Now, you might think that it's rare for a teenager to feel so relaxed, and you'd be right - it was a complete fabrication.In the vein of Me And My Fear and When Sadness Is at Your Door, Ruby Finds a Worry manifests a feeling into a wordless, omniscient being that essentially stalks the main character. Sometimes that's how big emotions weigh on us: relentless, darkening every part of your life. And the more you think about it, the more noticeable its presence becomes!
