What a wonderful way to talk about fears in children that they have a hard time with from day to day! This lovely book with delightful characters does just that! It's a good way for children to realize that the feelings they feel are normal and with a little help from a friend and a little courage, they can face their fears, just like Lino the lizard!!

Lino the Lizard is a must-have children’s book! This story has a beautiful message that resonates with anyone who has ever been weary to try new things and feels anxious outside of their comfort zone. The world needs more of this kind of light. Can’t wait to see what’s next from Zora Zee!
