Jack's Worry

32 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7845-6 $16.99
(3) K-3 Jack's worry about playing his trumpet in tonight's concert is personified as an ever-growing, faceless blue monster. The worry follows him until he hears Mom's reassuring words of love and support. The loose illustrations, acrylic paint and pencil on watercolor paper, skillfully capture Jack's relatable emotions, with scribbly line work contributing to a child-rendered look. Concise text provides a solid through line to convey the universal moral.
