"Simply gorgeous in every way." --Shannon Hale, New York Times bestselling authorAn inspiring modern fairy tale about a brave girl who shrinks and grows depending on how she feels, showing how all of us--no matter our size--are so much bigger than our fears. From Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winning author Laurel Snyder and Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator LeUyen Pham. Violet knows what it's like to be afraid: when you're afraid, you feel helpless and small. But when Violet is afraid, she doesn't just feel small--she actually shrinks! It's tough to stop feeling frightened when you're only a few centimeters tall. But when Violet's best friend is in danger, she'll have to learn to deal with her fear in a new way--and save the day in the process.Shrinking Violet is a beautifully illustrated story about fear and bravery for anyone who has ever felt scared and small.
