Everyone feels worried sometimes. But what if your worries came to life and started following you around?
Sohal worries about a lot of things: the dark, mutant sheep, being alone – you name it, he worries about it! So one night he tries drawing his worries to make himself feel better – and somehow they look a lot less worrying once they’re scribbled down. But then imagine Sohal’s surprise when he wakes up the next morning to find a set of funny, furry friends at the end of his bed!His worries have come to life, and it’s not long before Hurt, Fail, Anger, Big and Alone have turned his world upside down. Now it’s up to Sohal to work out how to keep his worries under control – and have some serious fun while he’s at it!
The Truth Pixie meets Inside Out in this hilarious, highly illustrated new series, perfect for helping children gently work through their worries and concentrate on having fun.

This book was really helpful to think about how to deal with our worries.

I liked it because a boy had worries which came to life and he made friends with them.

When you worried, don't be scared - everone has worries. This is a motivating book to overcome your worries.It is funny that all the worries of Sohal sent him a postcard from their vacation.

I liked The Worries because it teaches you that you should always tell a grownup if you are worried, and they can sort it out for you. You should always share happiness because it is a nice feeling to feel. I would recommend this book to children aged 7-9.

This book is very funny and full of imaginations. Sohal was worried so he did a drawing and they become alive the next day. He made friends and worries say goodby to him. My favourite part is the kicking worry. I will recommend this book to my friends because you can find a way to get rid of your worry.

Ambassador Bart Taramasalata 07.08.2021
This book is a great book and I also think it is a quick and easy read but maybe it’s just because I am a very good reader

I didn't like The Worries that much because they scared me a little bit. Sohal's Mum was my favourite character. I would recommend it to someone else.

I like that this book is a fun way to look at worries and make them ‘real’ for children. In the sense that for so many worries are a huge thing that no one else can see. This makes it hard for children to talk about them. This book makes them visible for children in a way that shows how talking about them can make them smaller. It’s a light hearted book that is funny and serious at the same time. I think this book would be great for year 2/ year 3 children. The bold illustrations help children visualise the story and I really like the calming turquoise colour that flows throughout.
