Publisher's Synopsis
The world outside is shaking.
It's growling like an angry lion
Snapping like a great white shark,
Every day a piece breaks off
Scaring tigers, elephants, and giraffes.
My Code Word: For When I Am Scared or Afraid is a story about a young boy who sees acutely what's going on in the world and internalizes the negative things - wildfires, violence, etc. - to a point where he begings to fear for his future. When everything seems most hopeless, his mother comes up with a clever solution to not only allay his fears, but teach the resilience needed to be a change agent and tackle the world head on.
