Description
Book SynopsisBinnie is an energetic baboon, who bounces around the lush green mountains of Rwanda in East Africa. But like many of us, Binnie often feels worried, fearful, and stressed, and these worries can get in her way!
What if she gets lost in the jungle, or her family gets sick? What if no one likes her? Sometimes she even worries about the fact she's worried; and if she isn't worried, well why not?!
This story will help children aged 5-10 and the adults around them to understand why they feel anxious. It describes what children can do to help reduce these feelings and become their very own worry wizards and worry warriors.
