A Picture Book to Help Kids Build Confidence
For the moments when your child feels like they don't quite fit - and needs to hear that's okay
Most kids go through a stretch where they feel different - too shy, too loud, too slow to catch on, too something. Freddy Learns To Fly was written for that time in a child’s life. It's a picture book about a young fish who thinks that because he’s different, he doesn't measure up, and the slow, honest process of learning that being different doesn't mean being less.
It's not a story that rushes to a tidy resolution. Freddy is afraid. Freddy fails - more than once - before he succeeds. And Freddy doesn't figure it out alone; he leans on his parents, and grows up alongside the friends who stick with him along the way. If you're looking for a book that's honest with your child about fear and failure, rather than skipping past them, this one sits in that discomfort on purpose.
