A warm and reassuring picture book that helps young children explore the feeling of worry and how to cope with it.

Lion should be excited about the school trip to Jungle Land, it's the best theme park ever! But instead, he’s full of worries, and they’re starting to spoil his day. With the support of Miss Bird and his friends, Lion learns calming techniques and discovers that a little help can make a big difference.
