I'm a big cat. I'm a strong cat. I'm not a scaredy-cat . . . except when . . .
From New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado comes I'm Not a Scaredy-Cat, a hilarious new picture book to help kids manage their fears and worries and learn to trust God.
Follow a silly series of misadventures as scaredy-cat faces his worst fears: an appalling abundance of (gulp ) yellow and pink sprinkles on his donut, an elephant on the verge of a ginormous sneeze, and the terrifyingly loud chime of a clock. For each of the fears, Max provides this reassuring child's version of Philippians 4:6-9:
"God, you are good.
God, you are near.
God, you are here
And, God, you love me."
A fun read for children and parents, I'm Not a Scaredy-Cat will open doors for important conversations about fear in a nonthreatening way and help you instill godly bravery in your kids.
In this playful book with fun illustrations, young kids can feel good about their own fears when they compare them to the scaredy-cat who fears small things that don’t seem scary. If you have kids who are timid, this book can help put some of their fears into perspective. And the simple prayer repeated throughout the book gives children a concrete action to deal with their fears.
I wasn’t sure if kids could relate to being afraid of the sprinkles on donuts, but I think kids will relate to the concept that this cat has funny and unique fears, just like they do.
Recommended, particularly for children working through any fears.
