Customer Reviews

Get ready to face some new challenges!

In this beautifully illustrated novel, children will see that they're not the only ones to experience fear when confronting new situations. The story is character driven, and will be sure to open up discussion about facing the fears encountered in growing up. Highly recommended!

Lovely

My about to be second grader enjoyed this and found it reassuring. I don't think it will be re-read very frequently, but it was a worthwhile shared experience.
