    About this ebook

    “Hi, I’m Anna. I am seven years old, and sometimes I feel scared. But don’t worry—I have a plan to face my fears. If you read this book, you can learn how to face your fears, too!”

     

    When I Am Afraid is more than an illustrated children’s book. It is a precious guide for parents to help their children respond to fear and anxiety in God’s way. Told from the perspective of seven-year-old Anna, this book shares ways your children can recognize anxiety and equips them with biblical truths to help them trust in God. Each truth is demonstrated with a story from the life of King David, followed by questions encouraging parents and children to talk about what they learned. Read this book with your children and discover practical tips that will help them—and you—fight fear.
