Charley Chatty likes to talk. Charley talks so much that her mouth gets dry but there's just so much to say! "Why is the pavement brown?" "I have got two shoes. Everyone has two shoes." "I can hear the radio. Who is on the radio? Why is there a button on the radio?" Sometimes, Charley's imagination takes over and she tells stories about things that didn't really happen. She doesn't mean to but she likes how it makes her feel important and the wiggly worry worm inside her belly goes away. Written by a mum who understands, and her daughter (who also liked to tell tales), this is a story for children functioning at age 3-10.
In this book, Kathleen uses the character: Worry Worm, to help children externalize their worries and feelings of anxiety. Worry Worm messes with their brains and stops them from thinking positively. The book encourages children to face their fears rather than run away from them. When children, and adults, recognize their fears and understand that the situation is not always as bad as they are feeling, they can have some control and make a plan about how to manage Worry Worm. Children as they face their fears, and make plans about how to manage are brave and strong.
