A warm, funny and reassuring rhyming picture book about a fearful bear who, with help from his best friend Hare, learns to face his worries one small step at a time

Everyone’s frightened, we all feel afraid,
But the more that you face it, the more it will fade.

Bear isn’t scared of his snuggly lair or of his best friend, Hare, but he is scared of pretty much everything else. And when Bear starts to feel that he’s missing out, the two embark on a mission to discover that special something that unlocks his courage and reignites his love for life. The Scarediest Bear is the story of how courage can be found in the most unexpected places.

This reassuring, funny story by Frances Stickley, stylishly illustrated by Alice McKinley, is the perfect way to open up discussions about worries and anxiety with young children.
Full of gentle humour and irresistible illustrations, The Scarediest Bear is a perfect cosy bedtime read – and a gentle way to begin conversations with young children about their fears.

Children won’t be able to resist adorable double-act Bear and Hare as they take on their fears, one step at a time.
