A lovely story which I would recommend reading to any child with a phobia. It is about a girl, Connie, who develops a phobia of swimming. In this tale Connie receives a magic item which triggers the phobias of the adults who mock Connie's fears. The moral of the story: it's okay to be scared of something!
