Little Chester Raccoon, the beloved character who has helped so many
children with issues in their lives, learns the meaning of bravery and a
method for overcoming his fears in this new Audrey Penn title. After
sharing the story of a little bird who is afraid to have flying lessons
in front of his friends, Mrs. Raccoon tells Chester that being brave
doesn't mean being unafraid; being brave means not letting that fear
stop him. Mrs. Raccoon teaches Chester an important strategy:
Think-Tell-Do. When he thinks he is afraid, he tells himself he can do
it, and then he just does it. Of course, getting a Kissing Hand helps a
little too. This simple strategy can be helpful to children in many
different situations.
