Our Review

This beautifully illustrated picture book delivers a heartfelt message about the many forms childhood courage can take, from trying new foods to standing up for others. Marianne Richmond's gentle rhyming text explores everyday bravery scenarios that young children will immediately recognize, making abstract concepts like courage feel tangible and achievable. The warm, reassuring tone creates a safe space for discussing fears and challenges while celebrating small acts of bravery throughout a child's day. Parents seeking emotional development books will appreciate how this story validates both quiet and bold expressions of courage.

What sets this children's book apart is its focus on internal strength rather than physical daring, showing that bravery includes kindness, persistence, and being true to oneself. The diverse cast of characters ensures most children will see themselves in these pages, whether they're nervous about new experiences or need encouragement to speak up. This makes an excellent choice for bedtime reading or classroom discussions about social-emotional learning, particularly for children facing transitions or needing confidence boosts. The uplifting message will leave both reader and listener feeling empowered and understood, creating a lasting impression about the many ways to be brave.
