Jeremy Worried About the Wind

This is a story about Wide-eyed Jeremy who worries about everything - zippers, worms, socks, squirrels. Then he meets Maggie, who challenges him by asking “What’s the worst that could happen?” They become close friends and Maggie encourages Jeremy to have a little fun in spite of his fears. When the big wind does come, Jeremy is motivated by friendship to rush outside and save Maggie.

The illustrations are colorful and fun. There are great details, like snaggle-toothed, sock-wearing dinosaurs and acorn-lobbing squirrels. The refrain of “What’s the worst that could happen?” is never answered - adults and children reading together may want to share their own thoughts on what bad things could happen and how they could avoid or resolve them. Jeremy Worried About the Wind is a picture book about facing your fears and embracing adventure is welcome.
