Ruby Finds a Worry By Tom Percival

This children's book is taking something, such as a worry, and showing children and adults alike that if you hold onto it, it will get bigger and begin to affect you. This book is helpful in teaching children it is okay to have worries and how to address them so that they don't begin to affect them. This is a great introductory book to anxieties and teaches about talk therapy. Although the child may be talking to a friend or family member rather than a therapist, the idea is to let it out, and it also teaches about the power of how it affects others to talk about their worries, too. This children's book fosters inclusivity in the illustration, having characters of different physical appearances and the main character being a colored girl; in fact, the book was nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work - Children's.
