The fearless storyteller / by Silva, Cassie.; Zurita, Ana.;
When a young girl's father is scared of the unicorns in her book, she hides it to protect him. At the next bedtime, she selects a book about giraffes, which are much less scary. Right? Wrong! After her dad helps her overcome a fear of her own, he reveals that he is scared of the words in her books, not the animals. Together the father and daughter use positive visualizations to overcome their fears. Based on Cassie Silva's own experience growing up with an ESL (English as a second language) parent, this story is a love letter to all the ESL and illiterate parents and grandparents who get asked to read children bedtime stories.
