FOBIE FRIENDS HAS RELEASED A HIGHLY ANIMATED, INTERACTIVE EBOOK THAT OFFERS SELF-EMPOWERMENT AND FUN TO CHILDREN CALLED, “CLIMB THE MONKEY BARS? THAT’S BANANAS!”

The monkey bars stare down from up in the sky and my stomach flips over, I feel I might cry!

Normally, spending time at the park with Papa is a great day! But when this young boy watches his friends climb WAY too high on the monkey bars, fear turns his belly to jelly! Even with a gentle nudge from Papa, the boy has decided to spend today with his feet on the ground. Seeking comfort, his imagination invites him into a magical jungle where an unexpected animal, a “fobie friend”, offers him some helpful tools for facing his fear. With kind words and encouragement from a gentle, old, purple gorilla, the young boy returns to the park and decides that with practice, he can find fun in facing his fear!
