My Little Book of Courage
Picture-Books
Fear can show us the way…
Fear is important. Fear is part of life - no one knows that better from first-hand experience than a child. And it's good to know how to make certain it never gets the upper hand.
Fear is a profound and exciting subject, and in this book it is explored with a riot of imagination. Moni Port's compilation of associations, photos and collages, well-known and unusual impressions is not a chamber of horrors but instead a bracing and affirmative foray through our emotional landscape. And precisely because she avoids banal reassurances like "there's no need to be scared", the Book of Courage has an immensely uplifting and liberating effect.
