The Niggle Peta Rainford

The Niggle tells the story of Joe Jackson, a little boy who has never felt fear. Until the day a miniature monster swims in his ear! The monster is the Niggle, a tiny terror, who whispers worries in Joe's head and makes him afraid. Will Joe Jackson let the Niggle win? Or will he learn resilience and how to overcome his fears?

The Niggle, through humour and rhyme, tells young children that it's OK to feel fear. In fact, you can't be brave if you don't.

A colourful, rhyming picture book for 5-8 year olds.
