When Worry Takes Hold is a read aloud about worry that blends an narrative story with an introduction to breathing practices. Stella helps Cora see that whatifs can also be good! The Whatifs is a read aloud about worrying that acknowledges that asking “what if” is natural– everyone does it! At the same time, the story puts a positive spin on thinking about the unknown. Right before her performance, a new friend, Stella, helps Cora see the whatif through a new perspective. She is haunted by the “whatifs,” personifications of all of the bad things that could happen. The Whatifs tells the story of Cora, a girl who never stops worrying. Many will want to share times when they were scared or worried and talking about it really helped them. Students will identify with this phenomenon. As he starts to tell her about the worry, it goes away. One day, she finds a boy sitting on a bench. She can’t think about anything else, no matter how hard she tries. At first, Ruby tries to ignore her worry. Ruby Finds a Worry emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and talking about our worries in order to make them disappear.

I have curated a list of nine books about worries and overcoming anxiety. Books about worries and worrying helped to show kids how to validate their fears while also working to overcoming them.
