Illustrated by
Barbara L. Gibson.
Mrs. Raccoon teaches her son about bravery by telling him of a robin who conquers his fear of flying. She offers this advice: "If you think you can’t, tell yourself you can, and do it!" The worthy lesson overwhelms the story, and her explanation becomes a bit confusing. The illustrations feature expressive drawings of both raccoons and robins.
