Fear… Do as I say and go away, is a picture book about a little boy who is just trying to go to bed but his fear keeps playing tricks on him. He begins to see the tricks for what they really are and finds the courage to tell his fear to GO AWAY! My own son had always struggled with fear at bed time. So many nights he had come into my room feeling so afraid he would be shaking. So many nights we stood outside as I explained the earie sounds he was hearing that his mind was turning into big scary things that just weren’t there. I wrote Fear… Do as I say and go away, typed it on my computer and printed it out. It was just black and white, no pictures but we sat down and read it together. A few days later I was making his breakfast when he said “Mum last night I had a really bad dream, but I just said Fear! Do as I say and go away! and I went back to sleep.” I burst into tears I was so proud of him but I was also so proud of myself and a desire grew in my heart to share this book with other children who might just discover their courage, and learn their authority over their fears as well.
