Illustrated by
Jennifer E. Morris.
While it's true that there are scary people and things in life, it's also true that "most people are good people": they "love the sunshine," "like thinking good thoughts about others," etc. This warmly illustrated picture book seeks to reassure young children who may feel anxious about negative events and behaviors they notice in the world. The messaging isn't exactly subtle, but it's effective.
