Created by two incredible talents, "Betsy the Bookworm & Books to the Rescue" is a picture book that shows children (ages 3 to 9, give or take) how they can turn to books to manage their fears and anxieties, big or small, and how many fears have a simple solution. Throughout the story, the author uses events and conversations that show children how to recognize and deal with things that are different or scary. The book also emphasizes the importance of friendship, compassion and empathy, information and understanding, the significance of creating a plan, and celebrating progress. And, of course, humor! Many of the words and scenes of these little bookworms are really laugh-out-loud hilarious.
