In The Worries: Sohal Finds a Friend, readers are introduced to Sohal, a young boy burdened by a multitude of fears. Whether it's the dark, strange creatures, or the thought of being alone, Sohal's worries seem to follow him everywhere. One night, in an attempt to ease his anxiety, he decides to draw his worries. To his astonishment, the act of putting pen to paper transforms his fears into something more manageable and less intimidating.
The next morning, Sohal wakes up to find that his worries have taken on a life of their own. They have manifested into quirky, furry companions who accompany him throughout his day. Each of these characters embodies a different aspect of his anxiety: Hurt, Fail, Anger, Big, and Alone. While initially overwhelming, these newfound friends offer Sohal a unique opportunity to confront and understand his fears in a fun and engaging way.
As Sohal navigates his daily life with these animated worries, he learns valuable lessons about managing anxiety and embracing his feelings. The narrative combines humor and heart, making The Worries: Sohal Finds a Friend an essential read for children struggling with their own anxieties. This delightful story not only entertains but also serves as a gentle guide for young readers to explore their emotions and find joy amidst their worries.
Funny, sweet and very useful for opening conversations with anxious children, it is great for reading aloud -- Imogen Russell Williams * Guardian *
