Baby Worries
Baby Worries is a funny picture book filled with colourful, laugh-out-loud illustrations.
Perfect for 4 -8 year-olds who love silly books and parents who love humour.
Baby meets his extended family for the first time and starts to worry about what he might look like when he grows up. Will he have huge bushy eyebrows like Uncle Max and scare the pants off his friends?
The ending is not what you might expect.
A book to be enjoyed for sheer entertainment, but it can also be used as a starting point for discussions about feelings and worries.
