Picture Book Prompt 123

“It’s the way you look at things that makes you feel afraid.” —Patricia Polacco

Fear often depends on how we see. A shadow that looks like a monster may turn out to be a tree branch. A frightening noise may be nothing more than the cat. A classroom that feels overwhelming may become a field for exploration.

Explore a moment when a child is able to reframe something, and their perspective shifts so that what once felt frightening takes on a new meaning.
