Reviews
"Reminiscent of the classic kids' book, The Little Engine That Could, Lucinda T. Grapenthin has written an endearing and helpful story for young kids who struggle with anxiety, and let's be honest, all kids do. This book presents worry in a delightful, relatable way with real examples of how to come through to the other side and enjoy that which once worried you. Kids will enjoy the sweet mentions of jellyfish gummies and squid sodas and adults will recognize the universal themes. Toby, Toby, Worry Free is gorgeously illustrated by Kevin Gosselin. Toby is an adorable character that just leaps off the page. My favorite parts of the story were when both the writing and illustrations complemented each other to show how Toby's worry manifested in his physical body. It was perfectly, expertly done. The book also includes a note from the author about the PAUSE effect, which caregivers can use to help kids through their worries and fears. Highly recommended for young kids!" - Readers Favorite
