Climbing Mount Fear: The Adventure of Punchi

By Manel Halliday

Nine-year-old Punchi stands at the base of Mount Fear and dreams of one day climbing the gigantic mountain. In her head, she hears the voice of Mr Doubt, lurking within to bring her nervous feelings and worried thoughts. But with the help of Mr Brave, she can accomplish her goals.

Starting from the base of Mount Fear, Punchi goes on a journey that brings her face-to-face with many qualities that live within her—Mr Brave, Mr Courage, Mrs Faith, and the Confidence twins. These friends accompany and guide Punchi as she learns more about herself and about different ways to deal with the world and other people. She discovers that she can overcome her fears and anxiety by relying on her own inner wisdom and persevering against challenges that arise. Punchi learns to build up her confidence and knows she can accomplish anything.

This children’s story follows one little girl as she works to face her fears and doubts and begins to develop her courage, faith, and self-confidence.
