This book by Linda Williams (1986) may translate well into children's theater. The text has lots of repetition, and the props are items of clothing. The plot is minimal; it's simply the story of a walk through the woods. Megan Lloyd's illustrations have a friendly feel. Contrary to the title, the little old lady does become afraid, but she recovers. So, it's a clever story to role model the normal feeling of fear followed by self-regulation. The repetition may help readers build resilience--but, adults may want to take that that this repeition does not frighten others. This is a seasonal story, maybe read at Halloween. I think many children may appreciate the chance to confront fear and find courage.
