Product description
Review
"[...] this creative depiction shows how friendship, empathy, and connection can help bring the overwhelming down to size for all." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW "A universal book that can be used to explain fear to readers and give empathy to those in a new environment." --Kirkus Reviews "It will be a familiar story for many children, but the girl's specific fears about language and difference might make this useful for discussions about newcomers as well." --Booklist "[...] the pages get more colorful and the fears are contained within each spread to visually indicate to readers that fears are manageable and though they might not disappear completely, the most important thing is that we don't have to be scared alone." --Let's Talk Picture Books "A raw, tender story..." --Julie Danielson, Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast "Me and My Fear is a lovely reminder that we all have our fear with us, especially in new situations, which all of us have to face at some point. It serves as a wonderful visual representation of the anxiety an immigrant child might be experiencing and hopefully help them recognize that it doesn't have to rule the day. The illustrations are clean and bright and just right." --Luan Stauss, Laurel Bookstore, Oakland, CA

New country, language, school, and wanting to fit in
23 January 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
New country, language, school, and wanting to fit in. A young girl moves to a new country and finds a lot is strange. She has an imaginary friend she calls, Fear, but he’s actually a stark, real emotion she struggles with. He grows larger as she finds it harder to adapt. Both not knowing anyone at school, and language differences, contribute to her fears. She eats a lot at home to cope and has trouble sleeping. Then we start to see another student appear in the pictures a few times, quietly looking at her. Not in a bad way, just interested. Finally, he shows her a picture and they begin to paint and draw together. And, you guessed it…they become friends and she wants to go to school now. Her companion, Fear, gets smaller over time. She also discovers that she’s not the only one with fears; her new friend is afraid of a barking dog. Hmm, she thinks that maybe everyone at school has something they are afraid of. The story ends with her playing with the other kids and smiling.

Such a sweet story! Though it’s about a little girl’s fears as an immigrant, it opens the conversation about fears of all kinds and that everyone struggles with fear of some kind. I loooove this book!

An absolutely gorgeous book! And a spot-on representation of anxiety. I recommend it to anyone who has a child struggling with shy/anxious feelings.
