Sticky Icky Vicky: Courage over Fear (Mom's Choice Award(R) Gold Medal Recipient) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645129304)

Meet Sticky Icky Vicky, a girl who wants to get over her fear-once and for all

In Sticky Icky Vicky: Courage over Fear, the first book in the Sticky Icky Vicky(TM) series, authors Alysia and Michael Ssentamu introduce readers to Vicky, a fun-loving girl who doesn't mind getting a little sticky and icky. She loves rolling down hills and playing in mud-but when it comes to water, Sticky Icky Vicky's fear prevents her from joining in the fun. Then Vicky gets an invitation for a waterpark party, and she decides that she really wants to go-even if it means ignoring the Negative Ned voice in her head and getting over her fear.

With vibrant illustrations and catchy rhymes, Sticky Icky Vicky: Courage over Fear offers children an inspirational/loveable heroine who learns some valuable life lessons, such as:

• Courage
• Positive thinking
• Goal-setting

Aimed primarily at readers aged six to ten, Courage over Fear is a reading experience that leaves kids believing that they, like Vicky, can get past any obstacle in their way.
