Beautiful and comforting book. I loved the choice of Bible passages and how it ended with the strong message that God is bigger than our fears.

I bought this book for my 3 yr old son who has recently started imagining dragons in the closet and other imaginary creatures in the dark. Though it has a little girl on the cover, the message of the book is universal: we need not be afraid when God is with us. The scenes in the book cover a variety of things that might cause children to be fearful, from terrorism to stage fright to making new friends. The full-page illustrations are colorful and kid-appropriate and the clever rhyming does not detract from the content or the message. Appropriate for Orthodox Christians, as well as Roman Catholics and Protestants.

This book shows that we don't need to worry about anything -- we can trust God to take care of us. Michelle Medlock Adams' book is full of hope, and it makes you feel safe and calm when you read it. I like reading it myself, and I'm 32.

I Will Not Be Afraid will help children from ages 4 to 7 understand that scary things happen, but they are loved and cared for by the Father and He is always present and He will care for them. And isn't that a good thing?
