Stage Fright

Give your child a head start on learning how to build confidence in themselves. This inspiring musical read-aloud will teach your kids to never be afraid of letting their voices be heard.

"Lalala di ladala," Hannah sings, but only to herself. She is afraid of the spotlight and audience.

When Hannah auditions for the school play, she completely freezes. Not a single word or melody comes out of her mouth.

Disappointed, she finds support from her parents and music teacher. Then with lots and lots of practice, she tries out for the next play.

Can Hannah learn to conquer her fears and share her magnificent talent?

With clever rhymes, clear text that allows for easy reading without distractions, and beautiful illustrations that highlight the diversity of characters, Stage Fright is an engaging and impactful book.
