Sanna provides an empathetic exploration of the adjustment to a new land that all migrants experience." -- New York Times Book Review “Authentic and immediate, the first-person narration draws in readers and reveals just how easily fear can become overwhelming and isolating, but can also be controlled when feelings are shared and through comfort found in friendship. ­Like Sanna’s The Journey , this book about an immigrant’s experiences tackles a tough topic with honesty, empathy, and a sense of hopefulness.”— School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW “This follow-up to The Journey about a refugee family fleeing a war-torn homeland, focuses on the young daughter’s apprehension as she adjusts to life in a new country and a new school.”— The Horn Book Review "[...] this creative depiction shows how friendship, empathy, and connection can help bring the overwhelming down to size for all." — Publishers Weekly , STARRED REVIEW “A universal book that can be used to explain fear to readers and give empathy to those in a new environment.” — Kirkus Reviews “It will be a familiar story for many children, but the girl’s specific fears about language and difference might make this useful for discussions about newcomers as well.” — Booklist When a young immigrant girl has to travel to a new country and start at a new school, she is accompanied by her Fear who tells her to be alone and afraid, growing bigger and bigger every day with questions like "how can you hope to make new friends if you don't understand their language?" But this little girl is stronger than her Fear. A heart-warming and timely tale from the bestselling author and illustrator of The Journey, this book shows us the importance of sharing your Fear with others--after all, everyone carries a Fear with them, even if it's small enough to fit into their pocket! Review: New country, language, school, and wanting to fit in - New country, language, school, and wanting to fit in. A young girl moves to a new country and finds a lot is strange. She has an imaginary friend she calls, Fear, but he’s actually a stark, real emotion she struggles with. He grows larger as she finds it harder to adapt. Both not knowing anyone at school, and language differences, contribute to her fears. She eats a lot at home to cope and has trouble sleeping. Then we start to see another student appear in the pictures a few times, quietly looking at her. Not in a bad way, just interested. Finally, he shows her a picture and they begin to paint and draw together. And, you guessed it…they become friends and she wants to go to school now. Her companion, Fear, gets smaller over time. She also discovers that she’s not the only one with fears; her new friend is afraid of a barking dog. Hmm, she thinks that maybe everyone at school has something they are afraid of. The story ends with her playing with the other kids and smiling. Review: Beautiful book - Beautiful book with a great message and gorgeous illustrations. Both my 5yo and 3 yo, loved it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #768,077 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,394 in Children's Fiction on Social Situations #2,354 in Children's New Experiences Books #6,324 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 227 Reviews | ## Images ![Me And My Fear - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NMWHvjEBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New country, language, school, and wanting to fit in *by H***N on January 22, 2019* New country, language, school, and wanting to fit in.
