Frankie’s Worries

Frankie is worried. He’s worried about his new school, he’s worried about making friends, and he’s worried about the bully boys that wait for him on the corner of the street. But most of all, he’s worried about what might happen if he steps on the cracks in the pavement.

Learning About Foibles

Then Frankie learns about his foibles, the pesky little creatures that whisper worries in his ear. They are bullies, just like the boys on the corner. But with a big grin on his face and a little help from his brand new friend, Frankie discovers that he can learn to ignore his foibles... and eventually escape his worries for good!

About the Story

This beautifully illustrated story will appeal to any child age 7+ who worries, especially those with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety. Emphasising that we all have worries, it is a great way for parents and professionals to approach the topic sensitively.
