What parents are saying about the book...

The Boy Who Stood Up Tall is just brilliant, with beautiful illustrations as well. Finally a book that recognizes the need of highly sensitive children and children affected by bullying and trauma. However the book is not limited in that it’s perfect for any child. I loved it so much I told my 5 year olds teacher about it. She loved it so much and is now incorporating it into her classroom. Go grab this book now! It comes with a parents guide as well.” Jennifer

“As a pediatric physical therapist and a mother of 4 children, I feel that this book is a great tool to help those little ones in your life who are learning to face something scary! This is a very well written and beautifully illustrated book that tells the story of a little boy who is afraid of an approaching storm. Through the help of his bear, he learns about bravery and courage, and attains real skills to deal with his fears and face them head-on! It’s a must-read.” Monica

“A great family read that teaches the principle of standing up to your fears! My kids and I (9, 6, and 2) spent quite a bit of time discussing what our storms might be, and also what our teddy bears could be. A great way to teach resilience, courage, and that it is okay to have fears. Also, to discuss how our perspectives can change with experience. My 9 year old has anxiety/OCD so finding ways to discuss overcoming our fears and having courage every day brings light into our home!” Jen
