Key Message for book description
Fears are a part of growing up. But what if we can teach our children to befriend them using their imagination and humor instead of run away from them or conquer them.
The key message of this book is creating awareness in young children they have the power to change their reality through their thinking. That imagination is more powerful than logic and with a little shift in mindset we can train our brain to believe in brave outcomes which were once scary.
Developing positive visualization is a key life skill that will make children rely on their inner strength to create the outcomes they want. We are not a victim or a victor, rather a witness to the experiences that come to us.
Brave Cookie is a playful interactive story where a Cookie needs the help of a Brave kid to overcome its irrational fears. The story playfuly introduces the concept of imagination, visualization humor, hope and the power of creative thinking to release our deepest fears and replace them with favorable outcomes.
