Jared the Giant, The Secret is the first book in a new children’s series, Jared the Giant, by Alaskan author, Sharon Aubrey. The first book is about a little boy named Jared who is afraid of spiders. Arachnophobia and fear negatively impact every aspect of his life. Jared runs away every time he sees a spider. With fear controlling his life, he feels powerless to live comfortably in his own home. Then one day, Jared's mother tells him a powerful secret that empowers him to transform into a giant. From his new perspective as a giant, Jared isn't afraid of tiny spiders any more. Suddenly, the spiders seem to be afraid of him!
Educational information on spiders is included at the back of the book to help children learn about spider anatomy, arachnophobia, the benefits of spiders, and identify six common spiders in their environment. This book is ideal for children ages Pre-K through second grade with a Flesh-Kincaid Reading Score of 2. Jared the Giant, the Secret is a great resource for homeschooling parents and parents whose children would like to learn more about spiders.
