Little Me and the Feeling Called Fear

Little Me and the Feeling Called Fear

A gentle story about fear and finding courage

Fear is something every child experiences, but many don't yet have the words to understand it.

Little Me and the Feeling Called Fear is a gentle, reassuring picture book that helps children recognise fear, understand why it appears and learn how to listen to it without letting it take control.

Through simple language and comforting illustrations, children follow Little Me as she meets Fear and discovers that fear isn't something to fight or ignore, it's a feeling that wants to help keep her safe. By learning to pause, listen and respond with care, Little Me finds her courage in a calm and empowering way.

This story is based on child psychology principles and reflects how fear shows up in a child's body, thoughts, and behaviour. It supports emotional awareness, self-regulation and confidence, without overwhelming or instructing.

• Parents supporting anxious or sensitive children
• Teachers and classrooms focused on social-emotional learning (SEL)
• Child therapists, psychologists, and counsellors
• Children ages 4-8, especially those experiencing worry, anxiety, or fear of new situations
