THE KING OF WORRIES IN MY SCHOOL is a story about misunderstandings and understanding, featuring a principal who worries about everything and the children who worry because of him. The principal wants to make the school a great place, and perhaps because of that, he worries constantly—about bees flying into classrooms when flowers bloom, or accidents happening during field trips. His worries keep him restless, and he is always inspecting the school.
One day, the principal begins forbidding anything he sees as potentially dangerous. Field trips, milk at lunch, even ball games are banned, prompting complaints from both teachers and students. Eventually, the principal realizes that truly caring for others means listening to what they want, not just imposing rules to prevent problems.
Children who read THE KING OF WORRIES IN MY SCHOOL are encouraged to think about the misunderstandings that can arise when we judge situations without listening to others. The story also teaches the value of genuine communication and understanding.
