Ruby Finds A Worry by Tom Percival is November's Book of the Month. Percival delivers a helpful picture book on the subject of worry using cutie-pie Ruby and her yellowy, squibbly worry that just won't seem to go away.
Summary: Meet Ruby--a happy, curious, imaginative girl. But one day, she finds something unexpected: a Worry. It's not a very big Worry, at first. But every day, it grows a little bigger...and a little bigger...until eventually the Worry is enormous and is all she can think about.
Ages: Preschool to age 2
"Ruby didn't realize it, but she was doing the worst thing you can ever do with a Worry: she was worrying about it!"
I enjoy picking up picture books that have emotional themes such as this one and see what their message is on how to handle them. Ruby Finds a Worry offers sound advice in a kid-friendly way on the subject of worrying.
The illustrations of a yellow scribble dot and the expressions on Ruby's face add understanding to the story.
This book would be great to read right now with so much worries in the world, but would also be a great lesson for a little one who has even the smallest worry to deal with.
