Aransas Savas is the creative force behind Wally the Worried Walrus.

SHORT BACKGROUND

As the mom of two daughters whose worries sometimes get in the way of them being their best selves, Aransas noticed many kids programs send a message to just “be happy.” But ignoring our feelings doesn’t make them go away, it just makes them stronger and more confusing. Taking a deep breath, noticing and naming our worries can help us see them in open, creative, and resourceful ways. Aransas created Wally the Worried Walrus to help her kids and others get in touch with their worries and learn important life skills for managing them, so they can play and learn more, and worry less.
