Wemberly worries about everything. Big things (what if her parents disappear?) and small things (what if her doll Petal gets lost?). But most of all she worries about her first day of school. Even though her parents tell her not to worry, Wemberly does, the whole way there. Until she meets a friend, and realizes that school isn't something to worry about at all. Kevin Henkes's best-selling, acclaimed story for worrywarts of all ages is the perfect balm for first day of school jitters.
