This short animation is aimed at young kids who have been separated from their families and placed in foster care. When this happens, kids encounter a dizzying array of new faces. It’s an on-going challenge to deliver consistent answers to a child’s desperate questions during such a vulnerable time:  "What happened? Why am I here? Who are you? What will happen next? When can I go home?" When kids are brought in at DC Child Welfare, the staff give the child a “Worry Eater”. The child then writes down his/her worries, puts it into the Worry Eater's mouth and zips it up. We brought that concept into the animation which helped tell our story in a playful way that children can relate to.

 — “I hang on to worries so you don’t have to!”
