Little Frida is a worrier; sometimes her worries stop her doing things, other times it feels that the only thing she can think about are her worries. Fortunately, her granny comes up with a clever but simple way to manage her worries.
Freed at last, Frida can relax and have fun with her friends. Lots of us, young children included, will know just how Frida feels and the agony of being weighed down with worries.
This sensitive story offers reassurance as well as very practical advice and is one to share with all sorts of readers. Illustrator Jenny Bloomfield catches Frida’s changing emotions beautifully and all the joy of her relationship with her granny.
Frida worries all the time. Big worries, small worries, and all-the-time worries. Her worries feel heavy, just like the pebbles she collects every day.

Some days, Frida's worries become that only thing she can think about. But then, one day, her granny teaches her an ingenious way to keep her worries in check-and Frida finally feels the weight of her fears slip away . . . This sensitively written picture book explores how a young girl learns to manage her worries.
Jenny Bloomfield's beautifully observed illustrations bring Frida's feelings and experiences vividly to life.
Lou John currently works in publishing and has done so for many years. The Worry Jar is her debut picture book and was inspired by her love of collecting pebbles at the beach and by her daughter.
