Reach for this book when your child seems stuck in their comfort zone or is making excuses to avoid a new experience that seems easy for everyone else. George the duck is a master of deflection, coming up with endless reasons why he cannot travel with his friends. While he claims to love his home, the truth is much simpler: he is afraid of flying. This gentle story addresses the anxiety of hidden limitations and the shame that often accompanies fear. Through George's friendship with a patient bear named Pascal, children learn that being honest about what scares us is the first step toward finding a solution. The book is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating social pressure or performance anxiety. It offers a comforting reminder that there is more than one way to see the world, and having a supportive friend can make all the difference in facing your fears.
