Don't Look Back Karen Fitzsimmons

Cory wakes up late one morning and discovers his family has already left for the day! To make it to school on time, he must overcome his fear of walking alone. Cory is helped along the way by his mother's advice: "If you ever get frightened, don't look back. Just keep going."

Cory Fitzsimmons is the inspiration for Don't Look Back. When he was eight years old, he created this story with his mom, Karen. She wrote the words, while Cory drew the original illustrations. They are so happy to present this book to you 23 years later!
