The Timid Train

by Bharati Jagannathan

Loco, the new train felt rather scared of going anywhere. But every time it let out an "Ooo!" in fright, it came out as a strong whistle and everybody said Loco was a fine train. Come take a ride with Loco as it chugs merrily across the country.

A gentle balm for any nervous child, where a timid little engine learns that courage isn't about not being scared — it's about having kind friends riding right alongside you.
