by Nancy Holyoke, Judy Woodburn

Overview

Sometimes when we worry about something, it feels like we're the only ones - and that makes us even more worried! But really, everyone worries about something from time to time. Sometimes the worries are about big things, like an argument with a friend, taking an important test, or having to perform in front of a crowd; and sometimes the worry is about smaller things like having a bad hair day or saying something embarrassing. But regardless of what the worry is about, it never feels fun to worry! This book will help you put a stop to worrying as soon as it starts. Take interesting quizzes to discover more about yourself and the things that concern you, and get great tips and tricks for creating a sense of calm. Plus, read some really helpful advice from girls just like you who found a way to relax their worries. The whole book is packed with techniques for handling worry, creating confidence, and inspiring you to be the girl you're meant to be.

About the Author

Nancy Holyoke has had two careers. The first was in New York City, working for The New Yorker and a quirky downtown literary magazine called Wigwag. The second began when she moved to Madison, Wisconsin, to be the founding editor of American Girl®. After leading the magazine to two National Magazine Award nominations, she wrote a half-dozen award-winning titles for the American Girl line of books. In recent years, she’s led a team of writers, artists, and photographers creating over a hundred books and online offerings for early readers at the Rowland Reading Foundation. She has a degree from the Iowa Writers Workshop.

A former editorial director for American Girl, Judy Woodburn has been producing books for girls for most of her career. While she was editor of American Girl magazine, she contributed to the “Help!" advice column and led the development of American Girl's first editorial website, where girls can give each other great advice, too. Outside of American Girl, Judy has written many print and interactive books about science, psychology, and other nonfiction topics for educational publishers. Her articles and essays for adult readers about medicine, psychology, and parenting have been published in the New York Times, Brain Child, and elsewhere. She loves to read, play the piano, ride her bike, and travel with her family. A Smart Girl’s Guide: Worry is her first American Girl book as an author, written with Nancy Holyoke.
