Way Past Worried

Age range 4 to 8

Sometimes, being worried can keep you from having fun. Brock is worried. Way past worried, with his heart thumping and his mind racing. Today is his friend Juan’s superhero party and he’s going all by himself. What if nobody plays with him? What if everyone laughs at him? Brock doesn’t feel like a superhero, but… what if he can save the day and find a way past worried all by himself? This engaging story speaks to kids’ emerging emotional intelligence skills and helps them learn to manage worry.

‘This true-to-life depiction of social anxiety is simply but effectively rendered…It is worth making space on the shelf for this one.’ - Kirkus Reviews
