Description

When Nicholas is scared of the dark, the creepy bugs in the bushes, and even what might be lurking beneath manhole covers, he looks to the one person who seems fearless—his dad. But becoming brave isn’t as simple as copying someone else’s confidence, so Nicholas sets out to find the courage he needs in a surprising way: with a dinosaur. Blending humor and imaginative problem-solving, this story follows Nicholas as he learns how fear works, how bravery can be practiced, and how the right kind of “help” can turn worries into adventures. With Gennifer Choldenko’s lively, kid-centered storytelling, the book explores themes of courage, family, and the power of imagination to face the unknown.
