Owl's Worries Will Not Win

Meet Owl, the endearing feathered friend we first met in "We Will Join You," a little owl with a heart full of worries. From dawn till dusk, her mind swirls with "what-if" thoughts. What if she wears the wrong clothes? What if she doesn't have her favorite stuffed animal? What if she is late for school?
One morning, Owl walks to school with a fluttering tummy ache and a weighty heart. After sharing her concerns with her friend Panda, who has empathy for those feelings, Panda helps Owl get to school.
At school, Koala, the school counselor, notices Owl's anxious eyes and invites her to share her worries. As Owl calms in the relaxing counseling office, Koala shares the art of tackling worries. She introduces Owl to the "Circle of Control" - a simple yet powerful tool to help differentiate between the things she could change and the things she cannot. Owl's body eases as she realizes that not every "what-if" has to impact her day.
Through friendly illustrations, "Owl's Worries Will Not Win" captures the essence of a young owl's struggle with anxiety. As Owl discovers the power of discerning between worries within and beyond her circle of control, children of all ages learn a valuable lesson of finding inner strength and navigating anxiety.
This heartwarming tale, written by Jayme Branagh and brought to life by the enchanting illustrations of Kateryna Vovnenko, gently guides young readers to stronger emotion management.
