"Henkes offers no pat solutions, handling the material with uncanny empathy and gentleness....This winning heroine speaks to the worry-wart in everyone." Publihsers Weekly

Review:

"As much as little ones love Lilly, the 'fraidy cats of the world will see themselves in this winsome worrywart." Booklist

Review:

"Told with sensitivity and filled with perfectly chosen details, this story will speak to young worrywarts everywhere, and may provide some comfort to those about to begin nursery school or kindergarten." School Library Journal

Wemberly worried about everything.

Big things.

Little things.

And things in between.

Then it was time for school to start.And Wemberly worried even more.
