Home > Her work aims to capture a free way of thinking - one which makes you feel anything is possible, a feeling all too easily lost with the end of childhood. When we’re all grown-up, sometimes we just need a little nudge to remember it’s been there all along. She also runs an impressively global card and gift empire called ‘the brightside’ and occasionally practices her evil laugh. Personalmente me ha parecido una historia maravillosa, muy didáctica y lúdica que trabaja las emociones y la forma de tratarlas dirigida y adaptada a los pequeños. También me parece muy apropiado como recurso educativo no solo por sus increíbles y simpáticas imágenes o su motivador personaje, sino por todas las opciones que ofrece para trabajar tanto en familia como en el aula.

I don't normally review kids books because let's face it, like most parents I read the same 20-30 books over and over and over and over and ... It's a beautiful day and Worrysaurus has planned a special picnic. But it isn't long before a small butterfly of worry starts fluttering in his tummy . . . All about a dinosaur who plans a whole day but then he worries about lots of things for his adventure. His overthinking starts to get in the way and he has butterflies. He remembers his mum's words about chasing the worries away.Rachel Bright is a wordsmith, illustrator and professional thinker of happy thoughts.

La edad ideal a la que yo recomendaría este libro es entre los 3 y los 7 años, pues tanto su mensaje como su profundidad son completamente adaptables y explotados en función de las habilidades del educador.

She explores the lovliness of words and the magic of pictures, revelling in a world of jam-eating miniature bears and other made-up animals.

As a children's mental health practitioner working on the NHS, I am always on the lookout for new resources so imagine my joy when I came across this cute book - I brought it straight away!⁣ The book introduces the idea of butterflies representing a worry and the feeling of having butterflies in your stomach. I would discuss this with a class, and it would help them to talk about their feelings, for example: “I have a big butterfly today”. Younger children who tend to struggle wording their emotions/ feelings could really benefit from this. We would create a list of things to do when you have a worry, inspired by the book, such as sharing it with a trusted adult and doing things that make you happy. I would give each child a picture of a happy box and ask them to draw or write all of the things that bring them joy. I would then put these up on our well being wall and encourage the children to use it when they are feeling blue.

A modern Wemberly Worried-featuring dinosaurs!-for today's young readers, with reassuring, lighthearted text and charming illustrations sure to calm the anxious butterflies in any child's tummy. El color juega un importante papel a lo largo de la historia, ya que expresará las emociones que el preocupausario esté sintiendo en ese momento. Asimismo, tanto los tonos como los colores varían desde los más oscuros y tristes a otros más vivos, alegres y brillantes, pudiendo identificar los estados de ánimo y emociones con colores, e incluso con otro tipo de objetos. Las mariposas, por ejemplo, son introducidas como concepto que representa sensaciones como nervios, desconcierto o estrés. Esta metáfora promueve la reflexión y el diálogo con los niños para que ellos mismos sepan identificar sus emociones.
