Pina

Pina explores the haunted country of the imagination where children struggle to place themselves in the big scary world. Pina's fear to venture out of his little house into the wide world will resonate with timid kids. The techniques he uses to overcome his fear--mindful breathing, thinking of his favourite things, carrying a familiar, comforting object with him when he leaves the house--will prove useful to many children. Pina offers safe access for young readers to the scary territory explored by Coraline, The Night Gardener, and other stories for older kids.
