From the author of Tinko and Beautiful Name comes a story about fear.

Robert and his sister walked home from school when, suddenly, Robert's foot got stuck. It seems the whole town is trying to help and they all tell him the same thing. "Don't get scared!" Will his sister, the Big Kid or Mac be able to get his foot unstuck?

For decades, STUCK was an oral story told by the teacher and author, Jim DeFilippi. More than 25 years after high school, Gosselin and DeFilippi collaborated to bring to life a story that has been told in countless classrooms. The story teaches an important lesson. While the world may tell you otherwise, it is alright to feel scared. In fact, courage is not the absence of fear.

STUCK is humorous, wonderfully repetitive, and a page-turner designed for children aged 3-7 but adored by adults of all ages. The illustrations of Maheen Sana are brilliantly vibrant and engaging. Sana is setting a new high standard for children's book illustrators.
