    A Note From the Author

    Fear is one of the loneliest feelings, especially for a child. Because kids automatically assume they are the only ones who feel afraid, they tend to hide it, increasing their anxiety. Books allow children to experience scary situations vicariously. With some safe distance, readers can see beloved characters be fearful and realize that it’s not only normal and universal, it’s also different for everyone. Through books, kids (and adults) can also learn tools for coping with their fear.

      This book is something I will pick up for my 2 youngest grandsons. Both are going through this “scared” stage right now.
