Young children often have fears that are hard to deal with. Fear of the dark, of change, of making mistakes. This girl learns that those fears can be coped with in unexpected ways.

This would be a good book to help encourage students to overcome their fears ( )

'I Used to Be Afraid' explores the many times a person can feel afraid throughout life and shows that fears aren't forever. Although I feel like the main character isn't necessarily dealing with an anxiety disorder, it is a good way to slowly introduce the idea to children. The important thing is to start a conversation with a child about the difference between rational and irrational levels of fear and to help a child learn good coping skills at an early age so the fear doesn't become paralyzing. Any fear can turn into an emotional/mental disability if you don't take care of it. This book shows it is possible to overcome. ( )

This book is about overcoming your fears. The little girl in this book used to be afraid of a lot of things but she has overcome them. Laura Seeger is a wonderful author. She really knows how to say so many things with such few words and I love that about her writing. ( )

This little girl learns that she doesn't have to be afraid of everything. A little more simplistic than I tend to like, but overall a good book for read aloud time. ( )
