Big Thoughts

There are times when I don’t feel like myself. In these wobbly moments, my belly feels sick, my heart thumps, and sometimes I even want to cry. And that’s because I’m worried. I call my worries – big thoughts. These big thoughts can be invisible, but loud – nobody else can hear the racket they make inside your head. Big thoughts can be about the future – things that haven’t and won’t ever even happen – or about the past. Big thoughts can even be make-believe. That’s the annoying thing about big thoughts – they don’t always tell the truth. In her distinctively fizzy voice, Laura Dockrill connects with her readers – making them feel completely seen and heard – and offers children very real coping strategies to calm their worried minds; strategies they can carry with them throughout their lives.
