This teacher and counselor activity guide is designed to accompany the chapter book, an empowering story about managing and overcoming stress and worry. The guide includes text from the story, along with clarifying and probing questions and suggested activities. The questions and activities allow you to support readers as they identify their own anxieties and learn healthy coping strategies. The story centers around Oscar, a young boy wracked with worry. He’s so afraid of falling short of expectations or disappointing his parents, his teachers and his pals, he can’t sleep. When a caring teacher notices Oscar’s distress, she invites him to join a special, discreet group for students who struggle with anxiety.
