About the Book:

Turn everyday worries into confidence! First introduced in The Pout-Pout Fish and the Worry-Worry Whale, Willa Whale is the star of her own spin-off series, inspired by the New York Times bestselling Pout-Pout Fish books.

Willa Whale is worried,
And she isn’t having fun.
“Halloween is scary!
I wish this day were done!”

She’s overwhelmed and anxious
In the loud, spooky scene.
Can Willa find a way
To have a better Halloween?

Swim along with Willa Whale as she explores strategies and makes a Halloween plan that works for her. She might just discover that there’s room for every one of us in every celebration!
