Seth Meyers is a comic. He usually writes for adults. Now he has written a book for kids. I’m Not Scared, You’re Scared! started as a bedtime story for his children. In the book, readers meet Rabbit. She helps her friend Bear face his fears. TFK Kid Reporter Lucy Sandor spoke with Meyers. He says he wants kids to have “a healthy relationship” with things they’re afraid of. “Sometimes, fear can be a thing you have to overcome,” Meyers says. Other times, it’s a “helpful friend” who can keep you safe.
