Wemberly Worried

The start of a new school year can be a stressful time of year. New teachers, new classrooms, and new friends can raise our stress levels. In "Wemberly Worried", Kevin Henkes creates a character we can identify and empathize with. Wemberly clutches her stuffed rabbit Petal at the beginning of the story for comfort. Our primary friends enjoyed sharing fond memories of their favourite stuffed animals. In spite of all her worries and fears, Wemberly goes on to thrive in her new surroundings as she makes a new friend.
