A little information about the creator of WorryWoo Monsters


About The WorryWoo Monsters


In 2001, Andi Green’s series Monsters in My Head premiered at a New York City art exhibit winning over parents and educators for her unique concept of emotions depicted as lovable quirky characters. “In 2007 Ms. Green expanded her work into a doll and storybook collection, now called The WorryWoo Monsters, which has gained nationwide recognition and received multiple awards. Green’s vision
for The WorryWoos Monsters is to create products which
“openly discuss emotions and not candy-coat feelings.”

About Creator of The WorryWoo Monsters - Andi Green
Author Bio: Andi Green (the creator of The WorryWoo Monsters) is 33 years old and lives in Jersey City NJ. She studied design and photography at Rutgers University where she obtained her BFA. Green spent several years in the highly competetive advertising and fashion industry in NYC until she decided to pursue her dream of creating a line of children’s books and plush dolls. Her WorryWoo series has won multiple awards and can be found in stores nationwide including the MoMo Bookstores NYC. Her WorryWoo characters and stories were first seen in a New York City art exhibition in 2001. Originally called The Monsters in My Head, Green wanted to create characters with a story that each embodied an emotion. Using her design and illustration background she built 5 light boxes, 24”X36” in size, each containing a monster with its story Xerox transferred to the front of the box. From loneliness to confusion, she began tackling complicated feelings and transformed them into whimsical characters with stories. Her message of “embrace your emotions” received such a positive response, she was asked by many if she ever considered turning her single art pieces into storybooks. In 2002 she began to expand her concept, but it wasn’t until 2006 that she decided to produce her new collection. Green’s WorryWoo Monsters is a first-of-a-kind series of books and plush dolls where emotions come to life as lovable, quirky characters. Each story follows a WorryWoo monster through a whimsical journey to self-awareness as they confront their representative emotion. Created to build confidence, each WorryWoo story concludes with an uplifting message that provides the perfect opportunity for parents and teachers to openly discuss topics that don’t have easy answers.
