Every so often, a children’s book comes along that does something quietly remarkable — it meets a child right where they are, in the middle of a worry or a scary moment, and reminds them they’re not facing it alone. Have No Fear by Natisha Gardiner-Thomas is one of those books.
A Story Built on Reassurance
At its heart, Have No Fear is a faith-filled companion for young readers navigating the kinds of fears that feel very real and very big when you’re small: the dark, being alone, stepping into the unfamiliar. Rather than brushing past those feelings, Natisha Gardiner-Thomas leans into them — and then gently, warmly shows children that God’s presence is constant, near, and caring.
Each scenario in the book is designed to feel relatable. Because children don’t need abstract theology; they need to recognize their own experience on the page before they can receive the comfort being offered. That’s exactly what this book delivers.
More Than a Story
What makes Have No Fear especially valuable for families, teachers, and Sunday school leaders is what comes alongside the narrative: thoughtful activities designed to spark reflection and conversation. These aren’t filler — they’re an invitation for children to process what they’ve read, ask questions, and begin to internalize the message for themselves.
A book that opens up dialogue between a child and a parent, or a child and a teacher, is a book that keeps giving long after the last page.
About the Author
Natisha Gardiner-Thomas writes from a place that’s deeply personal. As a mother and a believer, she’s walked through her own seasons of fear and faith — which is perhaps why her words ring so true for the young readers she’s writing for. She’s not speaking from a distance. She knows what it feels like to need reassurance, and she knows what it means to find it.
Her mission goes beyond the story itself: she writes to help children discover the peace and courage found in God’s love, and to give parents practical, faith-filled tools to walk alongside their little ones through fear with confidence. Have No Fear is that mission made into a book.
