When I'm Scared

The little groundhog gets scared when he suddenly finds himself all alone in a huge burrow. You and your child can accompany the hero as he learns to cope with this feeling and understands that all animals are scared of something. The groundhog discovers that all his friends deal with fear in different ways: some imagine themselves as big, others jump or simply sing. In the end, the groundhog realizes what helps him the most. Touching illustrations invite you to join the characters – this is how children learn strategies to handle their own fears. A postscript by Martina Stotz, PhD in developmental psychology, helps to better understand the important theme of fear.
