Questions educators ask
Is this book a good read-aloud?
Yes. It’s a 32-page picture book written for ages 4–7, built around one clear emotional arc that holds up in a group. It runs about five minutes read aloud, longer if you stop to talk about the pictures.
What social-emotional themes does the book cover?
Fear after a frightening experience, courage as a series of small steps rather than one brave moment, and recovery at the child’s own pace. It opens conversations about fear without asking any child to talk about their own frightening experience.
Do you do virtual author visits?
Yes. Jason reads the book live over Zoom or Facebook Live and takes questions from the kids — available anywhere. In-person readings are available across Maryland for classrooms, libraries, story times, and community groups.
Do you offer bulk discounts for schools?
