For everyone who worries, or loves someone who worries, this charming story offers wisdom, comfort, and gentle humor. Perfect for fans of The Rabbit Listened, Ruby Finds a Worry, and George and Martha.

Elba worries a lot. Sometimes her worries keep her up at night.

Norris knows that worry can come from telling yourself the wrong story.

Together, he and Elba tell a new story, one without any worry. But what will happen when their story launches them on an unforeseen adventure?

This gentle exploration of a universal feeling reveals that, while stories can take unexpected turns, we have the power to create our own happy endings, and good friends can help us stay grounded in whatever comes today.
