"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. Readers will root for Violet as she finds her voice, stands up for her friend, and, most importantly, discovers the tremendous power of her own inner strength.BIG FEELINGS: Feeling small and afraid is a universally relatable experience.
