Say hello to Wally.
He's loveable, in a quirky kind of way. He's vulnerable, in a loveable kind of way. And he's got oodles of worries, in a normal kind of way.
He's worried about being too cold in shorts. Fitting in at school. Leaving a pong in the toilet. Even eight-eyed cats. How will Wally cope with all his worries?
Aimed at 4-8 year-olds, Why Worry Wally? uses playful rhyme and humour to help parents and children approach the sensitive subject of anxiety, offering a positive message around having and dealing with worries.
Why Worry Wally? is more than just a picture book, with a percentage of profits from every book sold donated to aid the wonderful work of Kids Helpline, Australia's only free 24/7 phone and online counselling service for 5-25 year-olds.
