FREE Event

This is a live, in-person event.

The Edinburgh Bookshop, 219 Bruntsfield Place

Catherine Rayner joins us in the shop for a very special storytime where she will read us her new picture book, Victor, the Wolf with Worries!

Victor the wolf has lots of worries. He worries that he isn't brave enough, that he isn't big enough and that he isn't fierce enough. In fact, Victor feels anxious about almost everything. But when Victor shares his concerns with his best friend Pablo, he starts to feel a bit better. And with Pablo's help, Victor learns even more ways to deal with those pesky worrying thoughts. And as the worries grow smaller, Victor feels a bit bigger, a bit braver, and bit fiercer inside!  Victor, The Wolf With Worries is a comforting and reassuring tale that is especially helpful for little ones who have trouble talking about their feelings.
