“A sweet and sensitive story about how tricky moments and overwhelming feelings can feel not so tricky and not so overwhelming when you have a bright spot to follow. Aimee Chase’s cleverly melodic writing style makes The Bright Spot a special book that shows kids they are never alone in their feelings and offers them the tools to manage anxious moments.” —Monica Sweeney, bestselling author of How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow and Can You Yawn Like a Fawn?: A Help-Your-Child-to-Sleep Book
