Silly Billy by Anthony Browne

While many picture books are written to entertain and amuse emerging readers, others focus on the more serious aspects of dealing with new emotions. This is one such story. Billy is a little boy who worries about lots of things and struggles to sleep because of it. When he spends the night at his grandma’s house, she gives him a set of worry dolls to help put his fears to rest. A great book for encouraging little ones to share and talk about their worries for peace of mind.
