it leaves readers feeling empowered to be courageous in the face of scary things that life can throw at us. I love how it acknowledges that certain things are scary, but lets readers know they need not be frightened by life. I feel like this is such an important message for kids because often they are afraid of what might seem like simple things to adults, so their fears are brushed aside. It is important to validate these fears, but let children know that they are brave and strong on the inside so should not let life “frighten them at all.”
