Description
A beautifully illustrated story with a gentle and encouraging message to help children deal with their worries - from the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal winner Catherine Rayner.
Victor, the Wolf with Worries follows Victor the wolf, who has lots of worries. He worries that he isn't brave enough, that he isn't big enough and that he isn't fierce enough. In fact, Victor feels anxious about almost everything.
But when Victor shares his concerns with his best friend Pablo, he starts to feel a bit better. And with Pablo's help, Victor learns even more ways to deal with those pesky worrying thoughts. As the worries grow smaller, Victor feels a bit bigger, a bit braver, and a bit fiercer inside!
Victor, the Wolf with Worries is a comforting and reassuring tale that is especially helpful for little ones who have trouble talking about their feelings.
