A Storytime Resource to Approach the Sensitive Subject of Worries with Young Children

Winston the Worried Whale is a fun and captivating storytime resource that will help teachers approach the sensitive subject of worries with young children.  In this imaginatively illustrated picture book, loveable character Winston takes children on a journey through his own worries, in turn helping them to think about how they can ease their own. While the additional resources - printable from a FREE CD Rom - offer numerous opportunities to stimulate valuable discussion on worries.  "Winston the Worried Whale is a lovely story with a serious message: Everyone has worries and it can be very hard to put these feelings into words. I thought the story illustrated this problem very well, providing a solution. I can see this book would be popular with children visiting libraries but expecially for us to include in the curricular topic boxes we put together for schools. Emotional literacy is in much demand now and we are always looking for stories and other resources to support this." - Susan McKay, Early Years Librarian, Aberdeenshire Libraries Children will feel an instant connection to Winston’s friendly nature, especially when he shares his secret with them… that even though blue whales are the largest animal ever to have lived on earth, even though Winston is bigger than all the other sea creatures and they all think he is brave and not scared of anything, he does feel worried about a few things: Winston worries about being able to swim fast like the rest of his family He feels afraid of diving down into the deep dark ocean … but mostly he worries about making friends. Children may not have exactly the same worries as a big blue whale, but they will be able to relate to feeling nervous or afraid, and I’m sure many will know how scary it can be to make new friends.     The storybook covers: How it feels to have a worry When to seek help from others The importance of friendship Recognising how we might lessen worries FREE CD Rom includes: Selection of colouring sheets for young children highlighting thought-provoking questions about worries Ideas for group activities with older children to encourage acknowledgement and support for worries within their peer group "A great story for any little worriers in your Key Stage 1 class." - Laura Farnworth, Waterhall Primary School Further Information:  Age: pre-school to 8  Size: 25cm x 18cm / 24 pages ISBN: 978-1-909380-85-1 WINSTON THE WORRIED WHALE Ref: 386-50143-45  £9.25 CLICK HERE TO ORDER
