Bookroo's summary

Rosie, a little squirrel, is anxious when her parents are late. Her imagination runs wild, conjuring a tiger threat. But instead of succumbing to fear, she envisions herself bravely rescuing them. As Rosie transforms her worries into a heroic adventure, she learns to confront her fears with courage. Will her imagination help her find reassurance, or will her fears get the better of her? This tale celebrates bravery and the power of imagination in overcoming childhood anxieties.

From the publisher

A brave little squirrel transforms her fears into a reassuring, heroic adventure. “”What if . . . what if . . . a tiger ate them?”””Aunt Lily’s eyes opened wide.”””Eaten by a tiger? What an awful thought!””””But I would rescue them,” said Rosie.”””I would chase that tiger until he let them free.”” Rosie is worried. Why aren’t her parents home yet? The reassuring, heroic text and fun-filled illustrations address one of children’s biggest fears while celebrating one little squirrel’s bravery.
