In Simon Packham’s Worrybot, Josh has built a Worrybot of his own, a home-made cardboard robot to eat up his worst fears. He writes his worries on a piece of paper, posts them into Worrybot’s mouth and finds it helps his problems feel a little bit smaller.
UCLan Publishing are encouraging schools and libraries across the UK to do the same to help children feel a bit less anxious. Build your own Worrybot and make it part of a Worrybot library display and you could be in with a chance of winning a UCLan Publishing book set.
