One night the dark speaks to Laszlo and leads him to the cure for his fear.
Every morning Laszlo says hello to the dark, hoping that the dark would stop visiting his bedroom at night. It usually lives in the basement, although it also lurks in closets and behind the shower curtain. When I heard there was a collaboration between Lemony Snicket and Jon Klassen being released I thought, “If that book is not good, I will just give up.” Fortunately it is great! Laszlo is afraid of the dark. A boy shares his fears with a dog, who debunks them one by one in a most amusing way! If your child fears the dark or other mysterious creatures, have a good laugh over them. The Fun Book of Scary Stuff is by Emily Jenkins, one of my favorite, must-read children's authors. In typical Steig style, Irene braves the winter storm, facing her foes, the whipping wind and swirling snow to get the gown to the grateful lady in time. Irene's mother is a dressmaker and is unable to deliver an important gown to the duchess. I love how duck needed to be brave in order to help someone else, instead of proving his bravery for a self-serving reason. Daredevil Duck overcomes his fears to help, and in doing so makes a new friend. But one day Mole requests Duck's help retrieving a balloon. Despite his name, Daredevil Duck happens to be afraid of everything. My 7 year old loved this book about a duck who dreams of being brave. But Sheila Rae has to face fears she didn't know she had when she gets lost and it is up to Louise to save the day.ĭaredevil Duck. She thinks her little sister, Louise is a scaredy-cat. Sheila Rae is very brave when it comes to thunder, dogs and stepping on cracks.
Sheila Rae the Brave is a must-read classic picture book about being brave. So go ahead, be brave, read a new book! (Note: book covers and titles are affiliate links.) There are some well-known classics in addition to books that are sure to be new to you. I hope you enjoy the wide variety of titles because I've purposefully chosen books with diverse characters for preschoolers as well as picture book biographies that are suitable for older kids. These are the picture books about being brave and facing fears that my kids enjoyed the most, and which helped us have meaningful conversations. Of course, no book list can ever be exhaustive, so instead of trying, I've picked our family favorites. Since helping our children overcome their fears can be a big challenge for a lot of parents, I thought I'd start with a list of picture books about fear and courage. Over the years I've often turned to books to help my kids understand their big emotions.
This is the first installment in a new series: books about feelings.
