Junie B. Jones Has a Peep in Her Pocket

Reach for this book when your child is spiraling over a 'what-if' scenario or feeling paralyzed by a future event that everyone else seems excited about. Junie B. Jones is a relatable, high-energy kindergartner who is absolutely terrified of her upcoming field trip to a farm, specifically because she's heard rumors about mean, head-pecking roosters. It is a perfect choice for children ages 5 to 8 who struggle with anxiety or the pressure to act 'brave' when they feel anything but. The story beautifully validates a child's right to be nervous while using humor to de-escalate those fears. Through Junie B.'s signature voice, children learn that even the scariest expectations often turn out differently in reality. It is an excellent tool for opening a dialogue about bravery, the difference between rumors and facts, and how to handle social pressure from peers who might not share the same fears.
