Wemberly Worried

Wemberly is the original worrywart. Her mother tells her not to worry. Her father tells her not to worry. Even her grandmother tells her not to worry. But Wemberly worries. She worries about everything from the crack in the living room wall ( What if it gets bigger and something comes out of it ) to taking a bath ( Mama, what if I shrink ). Nothing compares, though, to Wemberly’s newest worry: starting school. Wemberly’s list of school worries is long-and dramatic. Then she meets Jewel. And suddenly there’s one less thing for Wemberly (and Jewel) to worry about. …

Kevin Henkes speaks directly to the heart of worriers everywhere in this universal story about making friends-and growing up.
