Whenever Jonathan James finds himself in a new situation, he hears his Whatif Monster asking all kind of questions to stop him trying something new:: What if it's scary? What if they laugh? What if it's hard?
Until finally, Jonathan James has some questions of his own: What if they don't? What if it isn't? What then?
This child-friendly rhyming tale provides the ideal antidote for every child's occasional bouts of self doubt and fear of trying something new.
From a parent:
What I love about this book is that it's so great for any age. Young children who are afraid of going to school, going to the doctor, making new friends OR teenagers graduating from high school, going to college, adults stepping into new careers, etc. It is a sweet, inspiring (funny and entertaining) story that everyone needs to hear!
Have someone in your life a little timid to try something new? This might be the perfect book to share with them as it teaches the lesson of not letting the "what if" monster stop them from achieving something they want. I really think this book would be a perfect graduation gift - in addition to being a great children's gift.

"I write and illustrate books for children. I love to laugh, I love to have fun. I do not have time for mean people. Life is too short to not do what you love for a living. Or deal with mean people. I like smiling. It's my favorite."
