Why Are We Afraid?

Ana Sender
Fran Pintadera

"A poetic album that explores fear not as something shameful but as an inevitable part of our life. The perfect book to not be afraid of fear."

A picture book that faces fear and looks into it in all its complexity. This is the second joint project of these authors, who also answered the question Why Do We Cry? in a book winner of the 2019 Junceda award and translated into 11 languages. Now, on a rainy evening, a child asks his father about fear. Together, in a quiet cadence, they explore situations and reasons for which fear emerges. Page by page, Ana Sender builds beautiful and precise illustrations that perfectly match the poetic exploration of Fran Pintadera.
