Ivan's Fear is an inspiring tale about the bravery we need in order to live our lives with joy and happiness. It is ajourney to the very center of our hearts, which will give us the courage and bravery to face up to any obstaclethat stands in our way.
"This picture book shows us that the strength necessary to face any obstacle is inside us. The artwork by the artist Cha Coco, in ocher tones with red details predominate, is at the same time full of strength and tenderness." --Apogeoyliteratura
