Meet Hattie Harmony, Worry Detective. She’s always there to help her friends when they need her. And the first day of school can cause a lot of jitters — from speaking in front of the class to taking the bus. Hattie always finds the perfect tools to calm her friends’ bodies and minds, whether she's distracting onefrom the butterflies in her tummy by catching actual butterflies, or showing another how to use a stress ball to squeeze some of the worries away.
But when her own fears start to bubble up, can Hattie learn to overcome them herself? With a reminder that "brave people don’t always feel brave inside," Hattie comes up with the perfect cheer: "Worry, worry, go away! There’s no time for you today!" Critically acclaimed actress Elizabeth Olsen and esteemed musician and writer Robbie Arnett have created an irresistible new character filled with warmth and humor to introduce the youngest readers to the importance of self-care.
"The bright colors and scene-driven illustrations will draw readers into the world of Wildwood Elementary. A helpful ending note, 'Tools Used in This Book,' further explains the four calming techniques Hattie teaches her friends. An approachable, child-friendly guide to processing anxiety." — Kirkus Reviews
