Medo do Quê? | Afraid of What?

We all have fears.
Big or small, we run away and cover our eyes.
But what if fear has something valuable to teach us?
What if, by stepping out fear from the shadows,
we discover ourselves?

“There is no fear that cannot be faced," believes the neuroscientist Rodrigo Abril de Abreu. That's what he does in this book, designed for the youngest, but also capable of making older readers think differently... The result is inspiring images that convince us that, often, what is in the shadow doesn't have to scare us, but rather help us move forward."

“It begins with the fear of the unknown, stepping into the darkness, passing through storms, silence, heights, pain, or differences. But there are other fears explored in this first illustrated children's book by Rodrigo Abril de Abreu... The result is an engaging book that doesn't scare, but rather challenges to view fears from an encouraging and joyful perspective... We have more courage than we realize.”
