YWCA publishes the Emotion Education Series to help children and their parents to manage emotions through pair-reading. Previous published picture books Angry Croissant, Crying leaf and Disgusting Hair were highly recommended by clinical psychologists and well received among parents and children. The fourth volume Worrying Otter has just been published in July, and explores the emotion of “worry” through interesting pictures and story.

In the new picture book Worrying Otter, the protagonist Ollie loved swimming but was so worry about losing the race that he felt something wrong both physically and mentally. Luckily, he finally found a magical place to help him get rid of his worries. 

To help parents understand emotional education, the Association organised an online sharing session in early July. Ms. Alicia Tse, clinical psychologist, explored how to cope with children’s worries. Dr. Ellen Fok, experienced education social worker, introduced the concept of “a little picture book vs the huge universe” and helped adults to get over worries with picture books.

YWCA has been working on Emotion Education Series for four consecutive years. By addressing anger, sorrow, disgust and worry, and introducing emotion coaching, the picture books help children to handle their negative emotions in a positive way.

Worrying Otter is now available at major bookstores and the coming Hong Kong Book Fair. From now to Jul 22, we offer discounts to all readers who order the new picture book and the previous volumes.
