An important, tender and vital story about dealing with and overcoming worry, perfectly pitched for young readers.
Amy May knows about webs of worries – so many people she meets are caught in them, from her own artist dad to newly arrived refugee Rima and her family. By being brave enough to open up her worry box, Amy May helps all those around her find a way forward.I never knew that grace would retire
I like this book because it is heartwarming and emotional because Amy get to see her dad after her mum and dad got separated.
I liked the book because it taught me Arabic words.
When my mum and dad split up I felt the same as Amy, I worried that if I got sad because I missed my dad my mum would feel sad too, I'm happy Amy is loving her new school and her teacher grace is helping her.
It was a little sad.
It was enjoyable to read.
After some challenges .her mum and dad split up .amy struggles to cope .they find a school where you can talk paint and use the sand pit to talk about your worries .she makes friends . Then they have worry angels . I really liked this book .
Easy to read and enjoyed
This is a fiction book about a girl who has anxiety. I would recommend this to children aged 8 to 13. I liked this book because it’s emotional.
Amy learnt how to say hello in Arabic
Nice
love the book i was so happy with the including of Arabic and its raising awareness
This is very encouraging and motivated me not to panic or give up.
It calms you down and sometimes it worries you! Amy was worried all the time because her mum and dad split up and she lived with her mum after the split up she didn’t want to go to secondary school so she went to grace’s art house and a new girl from Syria and she speaks Arabic and a little of English! Amy and Rima because Amy got her courage and Rima because she was shy and she got her courage too! People getting their courage back! I recommend this to people who like this kind of style!
Nice book
This wonderful gentle books covers so many topics in an easily accessible way. Amy struggles with anxiety when here whole world changes. Luckily she has a place at Grace's Art house to help ease her into a new school. Here she meets Rima, a Syrian refugee, and together they form a friendship of understanding the crosses language barriers.
I really enjoyed it because it was very interesting
I really liked this book. It was easy to read and follow. There was a lovely link with a refugee and the main character and how they were united by their anxiety. I think this book would be good to share with a child who has anxiety as I think it will help relate to their anxiety/feelings.
It tell you how to get rid of your worries. I like Amy may because she learned how to speak Arabic. I will recommend it to someone who has so many worries.
A touching, comfort book to come back to after a long day at school
