Who Feels Scared? A book about being afraid - Author Sue Graves

A gentle, reassuring picture book that helps young children understand and talk about their fears.

Jack is hosting a sleepover, but when unfamiliar noises creep through the night, everyone starts to feel scared. Jack's big sister Ellie shares that even she gets frightened sometimes — and maybe, with a little help from Dad, things won’t seem so scary after all.

Who Feels Scared? explores the common emotion of fear in a supportive and age-appropriate way. With a relatable story and friendly characters, it offers space for children to recognise their own feelings and discover that being afraid is something we all experience.

Why we — and schools — love it:

• Creates a safe, relatable space for discussing fears and anxieties.
• Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development area of EYFS.
• Perfect for circle time, storytime, or 1:1 emotional literacy sessions.

Each title includes ideas for discussion and a wordless storyboard to help children retell and reflect on the story.
