Worry Angels
A tender, reassuring and vital tale of friendship exploring how we deal with and overcome 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.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
Sita Brahmachari was brought up in the Lake District by an Indian doctor father and an English nurse mother, and her parents’ life stories and care for others inform her hugely sensitive and socially aware writing. After a career in theatre, her debut novel, Artichoke Hearts, won the 2011 Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. Sita lives and writes in North London with her husband, three children, and Billie the dog, and is also involved in numerous charity projects.
