The Worrysaurus by Rachel Bright is a great lighthearted text

A fun, illustrated story designed to help children understand that they can manage their worries and stop them from ruining their fun. This unit can be used individually or as part of a whole-school themed project on well-being with our other units on this theme. This sweet little dinosaur likes to know what's ahead of him-- but sometimes even with the day all planned out, he tends to become a Worrysaurus, wondering about all the things that might go wrong.Adorable, kind, and dear, The Worrysaurus is a reminder to all of us, young and old, to slow down and take a deep breath. I would share this with a class at the moment to remind them that it is alright to feel this way and to talk about what can help them. It will work well for this purpose with children in Key Stage One and Two making it a very useful purchase indeed. Esta metáfora promueve la reflexión y el diálogo con los niños para que ellos mismos sepan identificar sus emociones.

I asked him if he worries about things like the worrysaurus does (obviously he does) and he said cheerfully “oh, not really, just the world ending and everyone dying.
