BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Camila worries a lot, she is full of "What ifs" and "I can'ts and at night she worries about the next day. Her class is taking a field trip to the Aquarium, and Camila is filled with a whole new set of worries. It doesn't help that some kids from her class are taunting her. Once she gets to the aquarium with her class, Camila decides to hide behind a plant and discovers a boy from her class that is more worried than she is!
Barton's illustrations perfectly represent Camila's worries - I love that she wore her hoodie all tied up with just her face peeking through (so realistic) and the worries manifesting themselves in her imagination - loved it. An easy to read book about fears, I loved the list of read alikes: Henkes "Wemberly Worried" and Santat's "After the Fall" as well as discussion questions. AJ liked it too, sometimes she can get caught up in worrying about something, and Brave Every Day gave us some context to talk about it.
