Google Preview: A rhyming picture book that explores what happens when children encounter a fear. We all have fears that frighten us. Some are fears you see, and some are ones you don't. It's a feeling we all feel. Fear comes in all shapes and sizes and can meet you anywhere, from the circus ring to the swimming pool to the first day of school. The thing you fear may be something others love, like a dog or a bicycle. But you don't have to let a fear give you the shivers or goosebumps! Fear not, there are so many ways to send those fears away!; Rachel Rooney trained and worked as a teacher for special needs for many years before rediscovering her love of writing poetry.
