(3) K-3 Billy's excessive anxieties paralyze him. Although his parents' reassurances don't console him, Billy confesses his worries to his grandma, who has just the thing: Guatemalan worry dolls who can shoulder the fears he confides in them. Browne's precise lines convey Billy as the embodiment of an overburdened worrier; the bright colors of the worry dolls emblemize his relief.
