The Little Squirrel Who Worried

By Katie O’Donoghue

A beautifully illustrated picture book about overcoming

anxiety for young children to share with a parent,

teacher or mental health professional

• 
   A lovely, gentle story about conquering worries that any child will love, but particularly those who are in need a little bit of reassurance.

• Author Katie O’Donoghue wrote and illustrated The Little Squirrel Who Worried while working for the Children’s Emotional Wellbeing Mental Health Service NHS last year during Covid 19. The book was created specifically to address cases of anxiety that she was seeing among young people every day.

• A gorgeous gift for children who love to be read to and who love animals.

Little Squirrel hasn’t left his nest since last autumn. He needs to gather nuts for the long winter to come but he’s too worried to leave his cosy nest.

Luckily, Little Squirrel has lots of friends in the forest, from Wren to Snuffly Hedgehog, Grey Rabbit to Mister Fox, Old Badger to Great Stag. Will their encouragement and words of advice be enough to help Little Squirrel to venture out?
