EDC I'm Not Very Afraid of the ...

Dark: When the sun goes down, the Dark stretches out. The Dark can be scary, but it can be other things too – it depends on how you see it… This gorgeous picture book tells the story of a little boy’s fear of the dark. With friendly text and hundreds of tiny holes that show shadows and a starry sky, this is a beautiful book to share with young children.

Being Alone: The fear of being alone is common to many young children. Sweetly told from the little girl's perspective, this story explores that worry in a gentle, humorous way, coming to a comforting conclusion that might help allay any similar fears a reader may have. Beautiful laser-cut doorways and threads of connection as she calls to her father or he sings to her from different rooms illustrate her feelings throughout the book. The little girl and her family are brought warmly to life in the gorgeous, characterful artwork.
