Wemberly Worried, By Author/Illustrator Kevin Henkes (Ages 4-9), Paperback

Wemberly Worried is a warm and reassuring picture book about a little mouse who worries about everything — spilling her juice, shrinking in the bathtub, snakes in the radiator. But nothing worries her more than her first day of school. When she arrives and meets Jewel, a fellow worrywart, Wemberly discovers that school is too much fun to waste time worrying.

Written and illustrated by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Henkes, this back-to-school classic gently addresses childhood anxiety with humor, heart, and beautifully expressive artwork. A go-to read-aloud for story times, classrooms, and first-day jitters everywhere.

"Told with sensitivity and filled with perfectly chosen details, this story will speak to young worrywarts everywhere." — School Library Journal (starred review)
