The Huge Bag of Worries

Perfect for a thought-provoking assembly (particularly for those children with exams coming up!). A compelling picture book which can be used as a spring board into what worries children today. The lively, comic-style pictures and the general nature of the worries make this excellent for any number of problems. The message of the book is clear - find someone who will listen and talk about your worries. A big book version perfect for encouraging group discussions on how to deal with worries. Wherever Jenny goes, her worries follow her, in a big blue bag. They are there when she goes swimming, when she is watching TV, and even when she is in the lavatory. Jenny decides they will have to go. But who can help her?
