Support your child in talking about their fears
Squirrel bravely announces that he was once very, very scared. To his surprise, he finds that he's not alone. The other animals have also experienced frightening situations, each responding in their own unique way. With the help of a caring porcupine as well as other adults in their lives, they learn to cope with their emotions and find safety and comfort. Through supportive guidance, they discover that their reactions are understandable and learn ways to work through their fear.
This story was designed to help readers understand common PTSD symptoms in a child friendly way. As you read the story, you may notice that the animals show common reactions to stress including fight, flight, freeze, flop, and friend.
Here are some of the ways that the animals react when scared:
- Turtle hides and develops a tummy ache.
- Monkey clings tightly to others.
- Dog barks and growls.
- Elephant avoids talking about it.
- Rabbit can't concentrate and tries to run away.
Key Themes:
- Understanding and managing fear
- Common PTSD reactions
- Emotional resilience
- Importance of supportive relationships

Review
"This wonderful book is unique in its sensitive portrayal of how we respond to fear and how supportive relationships can help. Children of all ages will relate to the beautiful words and expressive pictures. The compelling story offers children and the adults that care for them the perfect medium to explore the universal feeling of being afraid and the gift of creating safety together." Alicia F. Lieberman, Ph.D., Irving B. Harris Endowed Chair of Infant Mental Health, Professor, UCSF Department of Psychiatry. Author: Emotional Life of the Toddler, Don't Hit My Mommy, Psychotherapy with Infants and Young Children
"This beautifully illustrated book will undoubtedly help children to find the presence of mind necessary to put their feelings into language, and to help them by-pass the universal experience of hurt kids: to blame themselves and to carry the scars inside. A wonderful tool to help hurt kids heal!" Bessel van der Kolk, MD, Medical Director Trauma Center at JRI, Professor of Psychiatry, Boston University School of Medicine.
