Lonnie and the Worry Wolf (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798998592430)

A gentle story about anxiety, perfectionism, and the quiet courage it takes to begin.

Lonnie likes school. He likes peach tea, his green Hawaiian shirt, and sharpening pencils until they're just right.

But when it's time for homework... his worry wakes up.

Sometimes it's quiet.

Sometimes it's loud.

Sometimes, it even has paws.

Lonnie and the Worry Wolf is a heartfelt picture book that explores what it feels like to want to do something well-and still feel stuck. Through gentle metaphor and relatable moments, this story helps children understand task avoidance, fear of mistakes, and the kind of worry that can stop us before we even start.

Written with warmth and sensitivity, this book is perfect for:

• Children who struggle with anxiety or perfectionism
• Parents and educators looking for a social-emotional learning (SEL) tool
• Fans of Lonnie and the Wolf Within and metaphor-driven storytelling

This second book in the Wolves Within series continues to help children name their feelings, understand their inner world, and take brave steps forward-one moment at a time.

Because brave doesn't always look bold.

Sometimes, brave just means... starting.
