Book Synopsis



Told through soft, gorgeous color illustrations, Why Worry is a gentle story of two friends swept into the unpredictable wilderness and how, despite feeling anxiety and worries, they find peace and calmness together.

Once upon a time there were two good friends, Cricket and Grasshopper.
Cricket always worried. Grasshopper never did.

Cricket and Grasshopper go on a high-flying, wild adventure and encounter a large crow, a hungry fish, powerful winds, and more. But while Grasshopper is having the time of her life, Cricket can't help but worry if they'll be safe, where they're going, and how they'll return home. Though the two have differing perspectives, Grasshopper and Cricket find support in each other through acceptance and patience. Originally published in 1979, Why Worry? is a soothing tale that teaches understanding and empathy of people who experience anxiety, and how to support and alleviate those worries.



Review Quotes




"A pair of friendly insects experiences a series of worrisome events, but each has radically different reactions. . . Grasshopper shows a sensitive acknowledgement of Cricket's fears, when she wraps her arms around Cricket while he cries. . . The backmatter essay on 'Children and Worry' by two psychotherapists, intended for adult readers, explores why children (of an undefined age) may experience worry and offers a bulleted list of suggestions with sample dialogue."-- "Kirkus"

"This is an excellent book for all children and especially those experiencing anxiety and stress. It describes worry and anxiety and offers a resolution all in one. Children can easily relate to the characters and their feelings and it can be used to help children face and overcome their anxieties. It also teaches children how to pay attention to calming and reassuring voices from others and then integrate those messages into their own inner dialogues."-- "Klaybor & Klaybor Psychotherapy Services"
