Henry gives out birthday invitations to his friends at school.  He is excited that his new best friend Marty is coming.  As he lays in bed at night, he begins to get anxious and worry that Marty will not like his house, food, or dog.  He talks to his tired sister on the top bunk and tells her his worries.  How can his sister help him feel better?

Arthur tells this story in a graphic novel format. I liked his portrayal of a loving family and a strong sibling relationship to help the main character work through anxieties.
