A magical, soothing story about a friendly tiger and a nighttime jungle.

It’s show-and-tell tomorrow and Rory is worried – he doesn’t have anything special to share with the class. But everything changes when Rory meets his very own worry tiger.

“Try this,” said the tiger. “See how quiet you can be. Tiptoe like a tiger and tell me what you see.”

Breathing deep to smell the jungle scents.

Stretching to join the monkeys high up in the trees.

Listening carefully to the creatures all around.

This enchanting story is full of mindful actions that anyone can take to feel calm.

THE WORRY TIGER is a gorgeously illustrated book with a gentle rhyme that’s a joy to read aloud and will help children relax and speak about what might be making them feel anxious. (From GoodReads.)
