Reach for this book when your child starts expressing 'the what-ifs' or shows physical signs of worry, such as tummy aches or nail-biting, before new experiences. It is a gentle tool for validating the internal monologue of a sensitive child who feels the weight of the world's uncertainties. Noni is a relatable young girl who worries about everything from global issues to whether her socks match. Through soft illustrations and a comforting narrative, the story follows her through a typical day where her anxiety is met with understanding rather than dismissal. It is particularly effective for children aged 3 to 7 who are navigating the transition to school or struggling with social overthinking. Parents will appreciate how it models bravery as something that exists alongside fear, rather than the absence of it.
