Fearless Mirabelle and Meg

A parent might reach for this book when their child is hesitant about making a new friend, especially if they feel intimidated by a peer who seems very different or more confident. Fearless Mirabelle and Meg tells the story of Mirabelle, who is nervous about her new neighbor, Meg. Meg seems daring and bold, which makes Mirabelle feel small and scared. Through a gentle narrative, the book explores how first impressions can be misleading and that everyone feels scared sometimes. It's a wonderful choice for children aged 6 to 8 who are navigating new social landscapes. The story beautifully illustrates that bravery isn't about the absence of fear, but about finding the courage to be kind and helpful, even when you're afraid.
