Feels cheap Whilst the story is ok and has a good message (that its ok for a child to feel apprehensive about things) and I like the limited 4-5 print colour palette, sadly the quality of the paper stock lets this book down in comparison to the others in the collection.

Delightful and unexpected A wonderful book. The expressive, limpid words are perfectly matched with the illustrations, which are subtle but exuberant. I loved the unexpected message, and its gentleness. Never preachy, it offers reassurance to children who sometimes feel shy or anxious.
