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, George and Martha, Find Your Calm, and The Little Butterfly That Could.
Some nights Elba counts the stars until the last one blinks out. Her worries won't let her sleep.
Norris knows that worry comes from telling yourself the wrong story.
Just for today, can you try telling yourself a different story?
How? asks Elba, who does love stories.
Start like this: 'And they lived happily ever after.'
But isn't that the end? asks Elba.
I like to know where the story goes, so I always put that in first.
Together, the two friends create a new story, one without any worrying. But when their tale launches them on an unforeseen adventure, it's Elba who shows Norris that while a story can take unexpected turns, they have the power to create their own happy ending.
With warmth and sensitivity, Just for Today will help children and their grown-ups find peace during anxious times as it celebrates the power of a friend who can see, support, and love us through all our feelings.
Be sure to read further adventures of Elba and Norris in the stand-alone companion book Maybe Tomorrow?
