About the Book
This book is 3-in-1. It includes two full illustrated children’s stories and a chapter for adults. The combination of two stories and the help for adults together give common language, images, discussion questions, and practical application for understanding this crucial topic. Most people in the fields of child development, social work, and psychology agree that a pivotal factor in what occurs both inside and between people is the picture of self-worth that each person carries inside.
This book is intended for young children and the significant adults in their lives: parents, grandparents, teachers, caregivers, and therapists. Children will find the artsy, playful Huckabirds appealing and will relate to their real-life experiences. Adults desiring to give children a Christian perspective and to be intentional in raising healthy, whole-hearted children will be helped and encouraged by the teaching chapter in the back.

How will he ever learn to overcome his fear? Children will get to learn along with Liam!
