Children today have many fears, both real and imagined. This book helps children understand their fears and teaches basic coping skills. Simple words and inviting illustrations show little ones that theyre not alone, there are many people they can talk to, and they can even help themselves feel better, stronger, and safer.
Made to be read aloud, this book also includes a special section for adults, with ideas for supporting children when they feel afraid and a list of additional resources.
