Reach for this book when your child is facing a developmental milestone that feels physically or emotionally daunting, like riding a bike, swimming without floaties, or joining a new group. It is specifically designed for children who experience anticipatory anxiety or who prefer to stay in their comfort zone rather than take a risk. Hugo is a small bird who loves everything about his life except for one thing: he is afraid to fly. While his friends soar, Hugo walks. Through the support of a patient friend and his own artistic passion, he eventually finds the courage to take to the skies and even travels to Paris. This gentle story validates the physical sensation of fear while celebrating the resilience required to overcome it. It is a perfect choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who need to see that bravery does not mean being fearless, it means doing the thing that scares you anyway.
