Ruby Finds a Worry

Ruby is a young girl who one day stumbles upon a worry. Though other people can't see her worry, it is very real to her and thinking about it only makes the worry bigger. This picture book Ruby Finds a Worry is a great springboard for talking with kids about worries and anxiety. Ruby learns some important lessons along the way. She discovers that everyone has worries and that talking about worries can help them get smaller. The reader reviewed that they loved that Ruby recognized when another child was sad and found out that talking to them was helpful for them. The author said that it is greatly suitable reading this with four-year-olds, but elementary and middle school kids would benefit from this story as well.

Most people love the adorable illustrations in this story and are so happy to see this important message available for children who suffer from anxiety (and for those who need empathy for others who suffer). The artwork in this book was created digitally using Kyle T. Webster’s natural media brushes for Photoshop and a selection of hand-painted textures.
