In a warm spring forest, a little hedgehog carries a heavy backpack full of “what ifs.”

'What if I get lost?'

'What if no one plays with me?'

'What if I say the wrong thing?'

Each worry weighs him down, and a big gray-blue balloon floats low above his head.

 

Today is Sharing Day in the forest school. One by one, the little animals step onto the stage to share their favorite things. But the hedgehog hides in the corner, nervous and afraid.

With gentle support from his friends, the little hedgehog learns to speak up, share what he loves, and gently let go of his worries—one by one.

 

The Hedgehog and the Worry Balloon is a heartwarming picture book that helps young children recognize and express their worries, and find simple ways to feel safe, understood, and brave.
