I loved this book! What a creative and powerful way to describe a child's fear! Fear is illustrated as a "friend" that grows and shrinks according to a young girl's feelings and what is happening in her life. She has recently moved to a new country, so fear has grown very large and is preventing her from participating in her surroundings. It is only when a boy reaches out to her that she begins to realize that everyone has a fear friend of their own, and the more she engages in her environment, the smaller her fear friend becomes.
