As a therapist working with children who experienced chronic trauma and loss in the first years of life, I love the way Chandra Ghosh Ippen's book makes room for all kinds of traumatic experiences, remembered and unremembered, one-time or chronic. The representation of the dissociative response resonates with the kids I work with, as does the character who claims not to be afraid. There's even a character who doesn't want to talk about it, which gets kids talking who ordinarily refuse. In the first day I used this book in sessions, two kids who had never sat through an entire book before were completely engaged and present, identified their own typical reactions, and could think about things that might help them feel calmer. Erich Ippen's illustrations bring the story to life and help children feel safe enough to talk about their own experiences and feelings. Highly recommended for therapists, parents, teachers, OTs, and anyone working with childhood trauma. Although it looks like a little kids' book and is certainly appropriate for very young children, I've witnessed older elementary school kids engage deeply with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good ideas but too long, confusing *by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2019* It's a shame; this is a book filled with good ideas and great pictures, but it's too long and confusing for younger kids (Kindergarten - 2.) It was confusing for me. We see eight animals in a circle telling the things that scared them and how they dealt with them in their own ways. Some animals won't talk about what made them scared, some pretend they've never been scared, and the poor skunk says he can't help it that he sprays (instinctively) when he's scared. A new animal, a porcupine (aka a counselor) arrives and suggests ways to deal with fears. So the premise of the book is good and the animal reactions are humorous, but it's too long (64 pages) and it quickly becomes confusing to try to remember what problem each animal had. And, because there are so many animals, it's not a book that can be easily shared by a group. Again, the ideas are great and cover a range of issues; just not an effective vehicle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard but important book *by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019* I read this to my daughter, who is five and two years safe from domestic abuse - her father treated her as acceptable collateral damage, which finally woke me up enough to leave - and she started crying about halfway through this, and said she didn't like it - but I finished the book and she listened and watched the whole story. I think this may be very cathartic for her, and affirming! It's okay to feel sad or mad or bad, but how do we help ourselves feel better? Highly recommend for young children who have experienced trauma. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/47750143-once-i-was-very-very-scared](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/47750143-once-i-was-very-very-scared) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
