'Joey is an 8-year-old boy with a big heart and even bigger worries. School feels loud, scary, and full of "what ifs." From riding the bus to walking into assembly, Joey's fears follow him everywhere.

But with the help of his mum, some kind professionals, and a new school that understands him, Joey begins a journey of courage. Step by step, he learns the power of positive words, brave choices, and believing in himself.
