About

A poignant, evocative exploration of the many reasons we feel fear.

After a thunderstorm causes the lights to go out, Max asks his father, "Have you ever been afraid?" His father says everyone is afraid sometimes. Then Max's father carefully begins to describe the contours of fear. He explains what it feels like when fear shows up and the many things that can make us afraid: shadows, feeling alone and losing what we love. But ultimately, even if our fear can stop us in our tracks, we have to keep going.

The stunning imagery and poetic text will entrance children as they learn what it means to feel their feelings.
