Translated from "The Huge Bag of Wories". Wherever Malak goes, her worries follow – in a big blue bag! They are there when she goes swimming, when she is watching TV, and even when she is in the lavatory. Malak decides they will have to go. But who can she get to help her? This funny and reassuring story from Virginia Ironside will appeal to all children who have occasional worries of their own. “If you are one of life’s natural worriors, this is the perfect book to share with your class! You won’t find it hard to sympathize with Jenny (‘Malak’ in the Arabic edition) whose worries follow her in a big blue bag.” - Jenny Etheredge in the Literacy section of EYE.
