Ruby Finds a Worry (Big Bright Feelings)

Description:

What do you do when a worry won't leave you alone? This beloved picture book from the Big Bright Feelings series is perfect for reassuring young readers in times of stress.

Meet Ruby-a happy, curious, imaginative girl. But one day, she finds something unexpected: a Worry. It's not such a big Worry, at first. But every day, it grows a little bigger…and a little bigger…until eventually, the Worry is ENORMOUS and all she can think about. Can she ever feel happy again?

But then Ruby discovers that
everyone has worries, and not only that, there's a great way to get rid of them too…she just has to share her feelings. This perceptive and poignant story is the perfect springboard for talking to children about emotions and anxieties.

The
Big Bright Feelings picture book series provides kid-friendly entry points into emotional intelligence topics-from being true to yourself to dealing with worries, managing anger, and making friends. These topics can be difficult to talk about. But these books act as sensitive and reassuring springboards for conversations about mental and emotional health, positive self-image, building self-confidence, and managing feelings.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A priceless lesson for any child--or adult--conveyed in a beautifully child-friendly manner . . . A valuable asset to the library of a child who experiences anxiety and a great book to get children talking about their feelings.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Focuses on the socio-emotional health of children . . . providing a window for discussions about fear and anxiety.” ―
Booklist

“Percival treats worry like a natural part of life, including the idea that sharing worries with others is a good way to ensure 'they never hung around for long.'” ―
Publishers Weekly

“A captivating tale about happiness, being yourself, and the magic of learning to spread your wings and fly.” ―
Foreword Reviews, starred review, on PERFECTLY NORMAN

“The message of acceptance . . . is presented in a child-appropriate and thoughtful manner.” ―
Booklist on PERFECTLY NORMAN

“An ideal selection for storytimes.” ―
School Library Journal on PERFECTLY NORMAN

“Percival's message is emphasized through the canny use of color as a storytelling mechanism: Norman's world is in greyscale . . . As the wings come out, Norman and everything he's near turns technicolor.” ―
Publishers Weekly on PERFECTLY NORMAN

“The contrast of black-and-white illustrations with splashes of bright color complements the story's theme. . . . A heartwarming story about facing fears and acceptance.” ―
Kirkus Reviews on PERFECTLY NORMAN

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book!

B.S. · September 2, 2025

Great book! Simple but important message - so helpful with my 5 year old in normalizing occasional worries and identifying positive ways to deal with them (like talking about them with others rather than trying to ignore as they get bigger)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful read

My 9 yr old dtr struggles with a lot of anxiety and separation. I bought this based on reviews. This is such a lovely well written story. Focuses on how Ruby’s worry follows her around and gets larger especially if she ignores it. (That’s the part my dtr really related to) and Ruby friends a friend with a worry as well. Once they talk about it it gets smaller. I’m really glad I got this book. We still talk about it especially at school drop off when that’s really difficult for her. Since we read it often and we talk about her anxieties, she’s slowly gotten better at separating. It’s a good read for any child with worries.

I like this book when talking to children about worries or anxiety. Some books are too abstract for my taste--this one addresses the topic directly but in a child friendly way. Kids can read about Ruby who is dealing with worries while simultaneously thinking about their own. I have bought many books to help kids and some just sit on the shelf unused. This one, however, is one I pull down often.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a great lesson everyone can agree on.

Beautiful story to teach children about anxiety. Read to my own children and used in school during Mental Health Awareness Month. Can be used in K - 8.

Good for Children but the same as the original!

L.E. · October 4, 2025

For UK buyers this is EXACTLY the same story as the original Ruby's Worry.The only difference is a few words due to this being an American book, such as cinema to movie theatre, cosy to cozy.

Great for anxiety
