Attention mothers! This is a must!

Addie was afraid a lot... That's the beginning of this marvelous book. It goes on to explain all the things she is afraid of. Then, at a key moment in time, Addie "looks inside herself.." and finds that she is brave when she needs to be. I found this book in the library and brought it home to my very own "Addie" (not that's not her name, but boy did she fit the profile....). Now she tells me when she's scared that she is going to find the brave place inside herself, just like Addie. Now I'm buying her her own copy. The great thing about the book is that it doesn't have a magical ending. Addie doesn't suddenly stop being afraid of everything, she just learns that there is more inside her that she thought. A great book for everyone, and a must read for ALL the Addies of the world!
