Small Stanley's Big List of Scary Stuff

A funny, reassuring story about how to deal with worries – perfect for sharing.

Small Stanley wants to be brave and fearless like the superheroes in his books, but Stanley’s world seems to be stuffed with scary things like earwigs and DOGS and the DARK and getting lost and even Santa...

Then Grandad comes to the rescue. “Write a list,” he says, and Stanley does! As Stanley’s list grows bigger and bigger, find out how Grandad, a wild wind and Stanley's friends all help Small Stanley to conquer his fears.

This is such a brilliant book for addressing lots of common childhood fears (quite a few of the fears on Stanley’s list resonate with my children)… It’s a gorgeous story with a wonderful message about overcoming your fears and worries and not being afraid to talk about them with your friends and family...The illustrations are fabulous: superb sketches filled with vibrant colour and emotion which bring to life the way that Small Stanley is feeling throughout the pages of the story. A brilliant picture book about dealing with big emotions. Mini Travellers Magazine
The book is completely charming and is beautifully illustrated by the author... The story is uplifting as it ends and offers readers a short checklist to remind them that worries are completely normal and it’s most important to share them, no matter how big or small. Books for Topics
