A touching and reassuring story about the jitters associated with first experiences — and the satisfaction that comes with conquering your fears.

Jack loves playing the trumpet, and for weeks he’s been looking forward to taking part in his first concert. But on the morning of the big day, Jack finds he has a Worry. And his Worry starts to grow. Even when Jack’s mother calls him for a special breakfast, even when he hides under the bed or runs around the yard, his Worry follows him. Suddenly, when it’s almost time to leave for the concert, Jack finds it’s all too much. For anyone who’s ever been afraid of failing at something new, this book offers just what’s needed to shrink a Worry down to size.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

EMOTIONS; OVERCOMING FEAR/BRAVERY; SELF-MANAGEMENT

Review

Zappardi successfully describes a universal fear and provides a simple mind-set that even a preschooler can use to help overcome that fear.
—School Library Journal

Ideal antidote for anxious kids facing their own Worries.
—Kirkus Reviews

Performing in a first musical concert can be a nerve-wracking experience, as Zuppardi has artfully visualized...The acrylic-and-pencil illustrations truly transmit the amorphous nature of worrying, using convincing facial and body language, followed by huge happy smiles portraying a joyful resolution.
—Booklist

Zuppardi’s scribbly pencils and expressive bursts of paint readily capture the big, intense emotions Jack is feeling.
—Publishers Weekly

This book will appeal to young readers. The simple pencil drawings add to the effect of the emotional nuances, and the text is simple yet comforting for a child. It will be a great lap read!
—School Library Connection

Jack’s Worry is about a boy who loves playing the trumpet but can’t seem to shake his nervousness at his first concert. The story is a perfect way to teach kids about anxiety or reassure them after stressful situations.
—Parents Magazine

A delightful, spot-on story about addressing fear and conquering it, children will readily identify with this book and gain wisdom and encouragement from it.
—Books to Borrow...Books to Buy (Kendal A. Rautzhan column)

Illustrated with cartoon-like pencil drawings colored with acrylic paint, this book reminds readers of all ages that it’s all right to make mistakes.
—Literacy Daily

    Such a great book to help kids understand their anxiety and how to overcome it. I feel like I have so many kids who are dealing with worry. These worries are debilitating because kids don't know what to do other then Fight, Flight, or Freeze.

    Jack is worried about performing in a concert so he tries to deal with it by avoiding having to go. When his mom asks him if everything is OK, he cannot find the words to talk about his worry. Many children feel this way. He is afraid of making a mistake in the concert. His mom is able to reassure him that the concert is about having fun and not about being perfect. His worry begins to shrink.

    When he arrives at the concert he sees his friends are also covered with worry. So he helps them make their worries go away. As an elementary counselor I am so happy to have this new resource. It's going to help me show kids how to open up, develop strategies, and face their fears.

    This is also a fantastic book for reinforcing that making mistakes is OKAY!

    We initially got this book from our local library, but loved it so much we NEEDED our own copy. This is wonderful work around anxiety that is so accessible for kids! It hits right on the basic principles of shame that often drive anxiety. Really well written and delivered in a way that kids really get the message - they are worthy even if they mess up. Highly recommend!!!

    A wonderful book. The 6 year old boy I purchased it for, loved it. I believe he got the message of the book because he understood right away the concept of the pictures and when the colour changed he was ab le to interpret and tell me what it meant. Wonderful I would recommend it to anyone who has a child who thinks he or she has to be perfect all the time. It is ok to make mistakes.

    There seems to be so much to worry children these days. This lovely book illustrates beautifully how a worry can grow and turn into fear and dread. Sit down with your little one and read this when big days approach. It's a good reminder that however things turn out, your parents will always love and be proud of you.
