Frankie's Scared of Everything

You would be scared too if your own brain was out to get you!

The world can be a dark place. More and more we find ourselves and our children feeling overwhelmed by the unknown and the pressures of society. This book helps instill early on the fact that our fears can be our greatest strengths.

Being afraid has never looked so fun.

Franklin delivers an innovative interpretation of a child grappling with his wild imagination. The author’s artistic images are integral to the text. They often portray Frankie escaping gigantic creatures and emphasize key words, like the onomatopoeia in the story. Offset by dark backgrounds, the bold, cartoonlike drawings are striking, with a somewhat surrealistic, glowing quality that youngsters will appreciate. A clever, nicely illustrated tale about an anxious kid.
