Illustrated by Jose Gascon

Jared the Giant is the story of a little boy named Jared who is terribly afraid of spiders.  His fear of spiders negatively impacts every aspect of his life, as he has a panic attack and runs away every time he sees a spider.  One day his mother tells Jared a powerful secret that empowers him to transform into a giant.  As a giant, Jared discovers he has more courage that he thought possible.  From his new perspective as a giant, Jared isn't afraid if tiny spiders any more. Detailed images of spiders of the Northwest are included in the book to help children identify spiders in their environment. 

This picture book is designed to help children ages 3 through 7 cope with fears that arise in their daily lives, especially fears based in the unknown where they feel too small to change the situation.  Jared the Giant empowers children to view their surroundings not from their fears but from their strengths and encourages confidence.  

Jared the Giant by Sharon Aubrey is scheduled for release Summer 2021.
