Emotions and Feelings

A beautiful tale of conquering fears and spreading empathy from award-winning author and illustrator Francesca Sanna. When a young girl has to travel to a new country and start at a new school, her Fear tells her to be alone and afraid. How can she hope to make friends if she doesn't understand their language? A heart-warming and relevant new tale from the bestselling author and illustrator of The Journey, this book shows us the importance of sharing your Fear with others - after all, everyone carries a Fear with them, even if it's small enough to fit into their pocket!

Bernice Recommends:

An absolutely beautiful picture book about the universal experience of human fear. It personifies far by turning it into an animal that shrinks and grows depending on how we are feeling. The book demonstrates how fear both protects us like a friend and how it by turn can make us feel completely alone. The book’s wonderful conclusion reflects on how we all carry fear around with us, but we don’t have to let it limit us!
