this is a great book to introduce kids with one of unpleasant feeling: fear. it has simple narrative and step-by-step approach. however, i think it will be best if the kids are accompanied by adults while reading this so it will not leads to misunderstanding.

I'm a big fan of picture books, especially those that put readers in a better place after reading it, whether it's a simple, fun story or one that directly addresses something a child might need to understand and cope with. This book fell in the latter category and did a fine job of providing tools to overcome fear, anxiety and other distressing feelings a child may experience. The illustrations were vivid and nicely compatible with the words. I would recommend!

Oh my god! I love this book. This is the book I needed as a child for my anxieties. It’s one I would use now as an adult. This puts anxiety and nervous feelings into tangible pictures for children to understand. It also provides tools to help cope with the anxiety and work it out. What a wonderful book and tool. I love how it takes dealing with mental health in a positive way, and I hope to see more books like this. The pictures are well done and the font is easy to follow. A must for children and adults alike!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a digital review copy.

Fear Not! was a great book about fears and coping with them and anxiety. I liked the illustrations, they were simple but nice. I appreciated the discussion questions/conversation starters at the end. This book provides clear tools children can understand to face their fears.

Very sweet book that teaches radical acceptance of fears/worries and then, coping skills to help reduce symptoms of anxiety. This would be a good addition to my elementary library collection. The illustrations were cute, and I like the way fear was shown as a beckoning cloud. Very important to teach these skills to young children!
