Walter Was Worried

Opposite the simple declarative sentence, "Walter was worried" is a portrait of a very worried Walter. But wait! The letters that spell out his feelings form his facial characteristics, as well as his expression. Gradually a simple story unfolds: the sky grows dark, the fog rolls in, lightning lights the sky, and thunder shakes the trees; Priscilla was puzzled, Shirley was shocked, Frederick was frightened... and eventually (when the sun came out) Henry was hopeful, and Elliot ecstatic.

Laura Vaccaro Seeger's two previous books, The Hidden Alphabet and Lemons Are Not Red were widely praised for their originality and distinctive graphic style. Both were recognized as ALA Notable Books for Children and Child Magazine Best Book of the Year. She lives with her husband and two sons in Rockville Centre, New York.
