In this touching story, Leo navigates the challenges of saying goodbye to his old home and friends as his family moves to a new city. Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about change, resilience, and starting anew. Leo has always been a very happy little boy. But when his beloved Nana dies, he feels very sad and worried. Worried about what might happen to him or his parents, and worried that he might forget Nana. His parents tell him that his feelings are normal, but they don't feel normal to Leo. The last thing he thinks he needs is a bunch of fretful furry monsters causing chaos - it's the Worries! But sometimes, Worries are good.
