This story was so good for my daughter who often experiences fear and anxiety！ It was almost like a little self help book to help her name her fears and give her some tools to help her in situations when she’s facing fear。 This story was really great because it was so easy for her and other young kids to be able to connect to。 The illustrations are great and really keep the kids engaged in the story as well。Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

Told in verse and beautifully illustrated this book could be a lifesaver to help make a dent in an anxious kid's life。 I think it's a great starting point in helping your child overcome these intense feelings。 So many of us have anxiety it's easy to relate to and honestly we all need to remember to just take a breath sometimes。 Thank you for this。 Told in verse and beautifully illustrated this book could be a lifesaver to help make a dent in an anxious kid's life。 I think it's a great starting point in helping your child overcome these intense feelings。 So many of us have anxiety it's easy to relate to and honestly we all need to remember to just take a breath sometimes。 Thank you for this。 。。。more

Another great book in this capable kiddo series by Christina Furnival。 I like that the book not only outlines the feeling and emotions through great illustrations but also some solutions that are laid out in steps， the book also has multiple conversation starters and discussion questions at the back。 A great book that will definitely get lots of use in our classroom。

Fantastic resourceThis educator loved the book。 Hopefully it can help many many humans normalize big emotions。 My fav part was that strong emotions both happy and sad will eventually pass。 Sometimes we only focus on difficult emotions so I was happy to see this book brought in some reality on both sides。 Every middle school kiddo needs to hear this one。 Gift it to all the teachers you know。 All of them。

Fear Not！ Is such an important read。 With beautiful illustrations and empowering rhymes， it conveys what didn’t work for the character in the book in regards to managing his fears and worries， then provides his step-by-step plan of what did。 It is extremely relatable for all。 There are so many encouraging lines such as “The more that I practiced， the better I got at using my tools， telling fear: I’ll fear NOT！” At the end of the book there are great conversation starters and discussion questions Fear Not！ Is such an important read。 With beautiful illustrations and empowering rhymes， it conveys what didn’t work for the character in the book in regards to managing his fears and worries， then provides his step-by-step plan of what did。 It is extremely relatable for all。 There are so many encouraging lines such as “The more that I practiced， the better I got at using my tools， telling fear: I’ll fear NOT！” At the end of the book there are great conversation starters and discussion questions about fears and worries。 Such a fantastic book to equip children， educators and parents with effective coping skills。 This book will definitely be on my resource shelf as I counsel young children and youth。 。。。more

Reading FEAR NOT！ is like having a school counselor sitting next to a child comforting them that they are not alone with their fears whatever they may be。 The "counseling" then goes on to explain what didn't work for them in conquering their fears and then provides three strategies for the child to try that will work。 The book ends with Conversation Starters and Discussion questions to further help。 Reading FEAR NOT！ is like having a school counselor sitting next to a child comforting them that they are not alone with their fears whatever they may be。 The "counseling" then goes on to explain what didn't work for them in conquering their fears and then provides three strategies for the child to try that will work。 The book ends with Conversation Starters and Discussion questions to further help。 。。。more

A young boy's journey on how he dealt with fear。 That you are not alone in your fears when you share them with a trusted adult。 What causes fear and how fear affects your body， mind， and your relationships。 I appreciated how the book stressed not to keep your fears a secret。 In sharing your fears， you become stronger and the feelings of loneliness diminish。 Directing our fears is one way of coping and help us see the truth of our feelings。 A great book to read with your children on fears and how A young boy's journey on how he dealt with fear。 That you are not alone in your fears when you share them with a trusted adult。 What causes fear and how fear affects your body， mind， and your relationships。 I appreciated how the book stressed not to keep your fears a secret。 In sharing your fears， you become stronger and the feelings of loneliness diminish。 Directing our fears is one way of coping and help us see the truth of our feelings。 A great book to read with your children on fears and how to cope。A special thank you to Smith Publicity and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Fear Not！ is a beautiful book that perfectly explains fears。 The vocabulary is simple and adapted to young children。 They brilliantly used images and feelings that children can relate to in a way to convey the meaning of more complicated concepts。 I also want to point out that it sticks out from other books by not putting any blame or guilt onto the person feeling the fear。 Fears are normal and they happen and are not something to be ashamed of。 I appreciate all the messages and ideas promoted b Fear Not！ is a beautiful book that perfectly explains fears。 The vocabulary is simple and adapted to young children。 They brilliantly used images and feelings that children can relate to in a way to convey the meaning of more complicated concepts。 I also want to point out that it sticks out from other books by not putting any blame or guilt onto the person feeling the fear。 Fears are normal and they happen and are not something to be ashamed of。 I appreciate all the messages and ideas promoted by this album。 As an anxious person， I would have loved to read this as a child， as it offers different ways to learn to deal with fears and anxious thoughts。 As an educator， I am looking forward to using it as a teaching tool and also as a reference to help students。 Thank you NetGalley and CapableKiddos for the Advanced Copy 。。。more

The book of how to face your fear and anxiety gives children good ideas on identifying their fears and ways to help relieve them in a concise， poetic way。 It takes the mystery out of “why am I feeling this way” and “am I the only one that has this fear”？ The questions at the end are very helpful conversation starters to have with your child。 The illustrations are colorful and represent diverse people。 This book is listed on Amazon for ages 5-12。 I think it’s more suited to ages 3-6 because of it The book of how to face your fear and anxiety gives children good ideas on identifying their fears and ways to help relieve them in a concise， poetic way。 It takes the mystery out of “why am I feeling this way” and “am I the only one that has this fear”？ The questions at the end are very helpful conversation starters to have with your child。 The illustrations are colorful and represent diverse people。 This book is listed on Amazon for ages 5-12。 I think it’s more suited to ages 3-6 because of its simplicity。 There are a few words though that younger children may not know the meaning such as cower and confidence， but the adult could address that at time of reading。 It’s a well-written book that addresses a topic of concern to every parent。 I received a copy for my review。 。。。more

Great book explaining anxiety to children！Fear Not！ Is a fantastic book all about explaining anxiety to children。 Not only does it simplify the symptoms so children might be able to relay their state of being to adults， but it also gives real life examples of what they can do to try and curb the overwhelming fear。 Written in rhyme， it’s a great tool for an emotion that even adults struggle to understand。 Tips are also included for adults in the back of the book to help aid in the children’s unde Great book explaining anxiety to children！Fear Not！ Is a fantastic book all about explaining anxiety to children。 Not only does it simplify the symptoms so children might be able to relay their state of being to adults， but it also gives real life examples of what they can do to try and curb the overwhelming fear。 Written in rhyme， it’s a great tool for an emotion that even adults struggle to understand。 Tips are also included for adults in the back of the book to help aid in the children’s understanding of anxiety。As a child， I suffered from anxiety， although in the early 90’s it was not at the forefront of pediatricians so I was only diagnosed years later。 This book could have been life changing for me， had I been exposed to it。 As a former preschool teacher， the book is written very well as far as children’s books go， and rhyming ALWAYS helps the kids to remember books long after they have read them。 Highly recommended for any classroom or home collection！I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
