Worries Are Like Clouds
A Big Hug Book
This gentle and reassuring book explains that worries, like clouds, can drift across our minds—but they don’t have to stay. It encourages children to notice and name their feelings, and offers simple strategies to help worries pass, such as talking to someone, breathing deeply, or focusing on things they enjoy.
Why It’s Included
This title supports emotional regulation and mindfulness in a developmentally appropriate way. It aligns with our approach to anxiety and mental health—validating feelings, offering gentle tools, and encouraging connection rather than dismissal or distraction.
Who It’s For
Highly recommended for children aged 4 to 9 who are prone to anxiety, overthinking, or big emotions. It’s a lovely addition to any bedtime routine or classroom discussion and may be especially supportive for sensitive or neurodivergent children.
