This little book is simple, creative, entertaining with a message for all kids, but especially those who might be dealing with fears or anxiety. The illustrations bring the book to life more like a cartoon, but the message is real-to-life. Things are generally not as bad as you anticipate they are and if you just look around, you can usually find a solution even if you are scared........and you will usually find that things were never as scarey as you imagined. It also stresses the importance of friendships and how important they can be. Great book. Looking forward to more.
