This book addresses children's worries with humor and imagination, as hilarious scenarios teach kids the use of perspective and the art of creative problem-solving.

Is a Worry Worrying You?

Library Journal Review— "The problems of paraplegics and their feelings of frustration and rage are realistically described. The story should find an audience among concerned young people."

On the Move

Skip loves swimming in the ocean. It's the perfect place to sort things out. Since his father moved away, he and his mom have been taking care of their big old boardinghouse alone. A whole summer of changing light bulbs and running errands for the tourists. Then skip meets swimmer. The big friendly dog swims with him every morning. Swimmer doesn't have an owner and Skip wants him. He's the only friend Skip has had all summer. But Skip can't take Swimmer home because his mom won't let him have a pet at the house. One thing is certain, though. Skip is not going to desert his dog. He needs Swimmer just as much as Swimmer needs him.

Everyone Needs a Best Friend

Swimmer

Babba Zarrah has a beautiful woollen blanket, which the children love to sit on to listen to her stories. When Babba Zarrah realises that her neighbours need new clothes, she unravels her story blanket in secret in order to knit them the things they need. Soon there is no blanket left, but the villagers have a solution for that...

The Story Blanket

"The book shows how, for those who are blind, attitudes about blindness play an important part in the success of everything in life. Laurie has to work through her own attitudes about herself when others treat her differently because she is blind. I plan to give each of my nieces a copy of the book for Christmas. It will help the younger members of our family grow up with a better philosophy about blind people." -Peggy Chong-Minnesota Bulletin-a quarterly publication of the National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota Reprinted in Future Reflections, The National Federation of the Blind Magazine for Parents of Blind Children
