About the book
Meet Fear. He’s small, anxious, and very hungry.
Please Don’t Feed the Fears gives children a gentle way to think about worry and the stories it tells. Through Cynthia Breheny’s illustrations, readers see how feeding fear can make it grow—and how courage, care, and understanding can help it shrink back down.
The book is designed as a warm starting point for conversations between children and the adults who care for them. With 50 vibrant, heartwarming illustrations, it offers a lasting lesson: fear is an emotion within us all, meant to be understood.
