Silly Billy

By Anthony Browne

An atmospheric exploration of childhood worries, and how to overcome them -- Now in paperback!

Billy is a bit of a worrier. He worries about everything. Most of all he worries about staying at other people's houses ... But a visit to his grandma's shows him how to overcome his fears with the aid of his imagination (and some tiny worry dolls).

  • A touching, sensitive story about the resourcefulness of children and using the power of the imagination to combat irrational fears.
  • In 2000, Anthony Browne won the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award (for Illustration) for his services to children's literature.
