Bruno has wonderful days. But at night, his thoughts don't know how to sleep.
When little worry-lights begin to glow above Bruno's bed, he doesn't know what to do - until Grandma Bear shows him a quiet way to say hello to his worries, breathe slow as a flower, and let them drift up to the moon.
The Little Worry Bear is a gentle bedtime story for thinker-children, sensitive or anxious kids, and the grown-ups who love them. Perfect for ages 3 to 8, especially children who:
- Have trouble winding down at bedtime
- Feel worried or anxious about big things and small things
- Get nervous at night and need help naming their feelings
- Benefit from quiet, calming routines
A three-step practice gently woven into the story:
- Naming the worry - bringing feelings into the open
- Slow breathing - like smelling a flower and blowing a dandelion
- Letting go - releasing worries to a safe place
With warm illustrations, a soothing read-aloud rhythm, and a tender ending designed to slow children down toward sleep, The Little Worry Bear stands out among bedtime stories and calming books for children - it does more than entertain. It gives families a shared language for the moments when little hearts need extra care.
Includes a Note for Grown-Ups with the practice explained in plain language for parents, grandparents, and caregivers.
Sleep tight.
