In this award-winning, beautifully illustrated book, young readers meet Thirteen, who is feared and disliked by some people for no good reason. Don’t Be Mean to 13 is a charming story with adorably drawn characters for pre-readers, while at the same time presenting the ancient historical roots of a popular superstition and introducing older children to evidence-based, critical thinking.
“A wonderful introduction to the origins and effects of one of the world’s most popular and irrational phobias, the fear of the number thirteen, delightfully told by a young boy and his friends 13 and Friday. This lively story will help children avoid unnecessary fears and teach them about the long history of Triskaidekaphobia. Highly recommended.”
