Reach for this book when your child is acting extra bold or boastful to mask their underlying jitters about a new experience or holiday event. It is a perfect choice for the Halloween season when the pressure to be brave can feel overwhelming for little ones. The story follows Ann, a self-proclaimed Queen of Halloween who claims to be afraid of nothing, and her brother Michael as they navigate the spooky sights of trick-or-treating. Through humorous situations and Mary Engelbreit's signature detailed illustrations, children see that it is okay to admit when things feel a little too scary. It normalizes the 'mixed bag' of emotions that holidays often bring: excitement, bravado, and genuine fear. Parents will appreciate how the book models honesty and vulnerability without shaming the characters, making it an excellent tool for opening a dialogue about bravery being the act of admitting your feelings rather than hiding them.
