Stunning illustrations of wildlife accentuate a timely message: Do not be afraid, you are not alone. he eyes of of the raven, hare deer etc, represent the unknown to the reader but once the full animal is revealed, the narrator declares themselves unafraid. Even if it is a bear growling or a linx lurking.

I read this book to my 5 year old daughter and she loved the unique selection of animals accompanied by the visually stunning tapestry of the forest at night. By the end of the book she was able to chime in with the “I am not afraid” mantra. This book successfully addresses the important concept of fear in a very beautiful way. I highly recommend this book to anyone with young children.

The imagery in this book is amazing. There are many different animals featured here and I love the message behind the book. There is no complex storyline or thoughts, so this book is perfect for small toddlers as well. My 5-year-old loved it as much as my 1-year-old.

Lush, light-infused illustrations that are richly textured and intricately detailed bring a myriad of woodland creatures vividly to life in this magnificent new picture book from this beloved artist. But readers must find their way to the light: at first, there is eerie darkness and each animal appears to be sinister and menacing until you turn the page to see things differently. With the repeating refrain of “Do not be afraid” followed on each subsequent page by “I am not afraid”, readers of all ages are invited to face the darkness and look beyond the surface to see the beauty that was there all along. It is an elegant, poetic look at fear in the face of uncertainty and a promise that even in the midst of dark times and shadows, there is light and hope.
