What is Silly Billy about?
Billy worries about everything—hats, shoes, clouds, and especially staying at other people's houses. His parents try to help, but nothing eases his anxiety. During a visit to his grandma, she gives him tiny worry dolls to take away his fears. Billy sleeps soundly, but soon starts worrying about the dolls themselves. Using his creativity, Billy finds a way to overcome his worries and help the dolls too.
