Casper & Bentley Learn Big Feelings: Fear

A gentle emotional intelligence story for young children

This book is part of the Casper & Bentley Emotional Intelligence series, created to support young children in understanding big feelings in a calm, reassuring way.

Through the story of two very different dogs — one older and steady, one younger and still learning — children are gently introduced to fear:
what it feels like in the body, why it can appear when things feel unfamiliar, and how fear can settle when a child feels safe and supported.

This book is especially helpful for:

• children aged 2–7

• children with ADHD or neurodivergent experiences

• children who experience night-time worries or feel frightened by change or uncertainty

• parents and carers supporting fear with reassurance and patience

The focus is not on removing fear or explaining it away, but on emotional awareness — helping children understand that fear is a feeling, not a danger, and that it can pass with safety and connection.

Each book includes a short parent guide, offering gentle ways to use the story to build emotional understanding in everyday moments.

Casper & Bentley Learn Big Feelings: Fear is designed to be read slowly, revisited often, and grown into over time.
