This book cleverly puts Mr Worry and Little Miss Shy together in a way that demonstrates the types of fears and anxieties that they each deal with (issues that I think will resonate well with the target audience) and then has Mr Calm and Little Miss Sunshine gives them some tools to help deal with them. It’s all done in a sympathetic way that isn’t patronising and I honestly can’t stress enough how much I liked the fact that both Mr Worry and Little Miss Sunshine are taken seriously and not dismissed by their friends and also how they become closer friends themselves by talking about what makes them anxious.

Mr Worry (who worries about everything) is concerned about missing the bus or getting lost on his way to see Little Miss Sunshine while Little Miss Shy is very concerned about saying the wrong thing or not knowing what to say and blushing like a beetroot. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone. Equally sensible are Little Miss Sunshine’s suggestions like writing worries down and putting together a box of things that make you happy.
