Continue the Conversation with Gale
Keep talking together after storytime. The Bear Who Feared Running gives children and the adults reading with them a starting point for conversations about fear, courage, and growing confidence.
“What is something new you’d like to try?”
Start with curiosity. Listen to their answer.
Let the conversation grow from there.
