Tamir & Naya take on Fear

By Prosser Project

Tamir & Naya take on Fear is a beautifully illustrated book that helps children understand and manage fear, especially fear of the dark, using guided imagery and emotional support.

It's bedtime in the Martin household, and Naya is excited to wind down with her favorite yoga poses. But Tamir is not looking forward to bedtime because he's afraid of the dark. When the lights go out, his imagination takes over, and fear sets in. With patience and love, Naya helps her little brother feel safe using a relaxation technique.

This sibling story supports emotional growth and empowers children to manage anxiety and fear in healthy ways.

Perfect for bedtime routines, classroom discussions, and counseling sessions, Tamir & Naya take on Fear provides young readers with actionable tools to find calm in the face of fear. The story gently normalizes fear, especially common childhood fears like being afraid of the dark, and teaches that courage doesn't mean never being afraid-it means knowing what to do when fear shows up.
