Overview

”Little Fears” is a book series about the various concerns that children can have. Sometimes, minor harms may grow into big worries if they are ignored. Fortunately, there are fun ways and gentle tools to handle such situations, often through play.

"The Wild Waves" is a story about the fear of high speeds and waves.

Otto dreads his family’s boat trips. He’s afraid of speeding over the water in the motorboat. But Grandpa is a patient teacher, and in the end, Otto dares to go aboard Grandpa's old boat as assistant captain.

The waves are splashing, and the wind is howling. Otto is sitting stiffly in the cabin while the rest of the family is enjoying the boat trip. “What if the motor dies during the storm, and we never get back to shore?” Otto worries.

With Grandpa, Otto tries to get used to fast speeds on a new carousel. Thumb signals are a great help! In the end, Otto boards Grandpa’s old boat as assistant captain.

Perheen veneretket ovat Unton kauhistus. Hän pelkää vauhtia. Ukki on kärsivällinen opettaja ja lopulta Unto uskaltautuu hänen vanhaan veneeseensä apulaiskapteeniksi.

Aallot pärskyvät ja tuuli vinkuu. Unto istuu jäykkänä hytissä, kun muu perhe iloitsee veneretkellä. ”Entä jos moottori hajoaa myrskyssä, emmekä pääse koskaan rantaan?” Untoa huolettaa.

Isoisän kanssa Unto pääsee harjoittelemaan vauhtia uudessa karusellissa. Peukalomerkit ovat hyvä apukeino! Lopulta Unto uskaltautuu ukin vanhaan veneeseen apulaiskapteeniksi.
