There once was a girl who wished she was brave.
But mostly . . .
She was not.
A little girl is scared to try new things. New things are hard! What if she fails? What if someone sees her fail? She laments that she'd like to be brave, but how does she start when the world is so big and she is so small?
Luckily, another very brave girl takes her under her wing and shows her how to be brave in those small decisive moments that children may not realize beckon bravery forward. Climbing a hill, using a rope swing, and finding the most beautiful sunset. For those little moments--Bishop Budde argues--are the ones that become the biggest lessons.
Inspired by her adult book How We Learn to Be Brave, Bishop Budde’s words can now be heard and held close by readers of all ages. Children are never too young to learn that they can effect change, and this brilliant audiobook is one that will inspire generations to come.
"A boon to uncertain youngsters everywhere." – Kirkus Reviews

Critic reviews
“Our unsure protagonist encounters another girl, a bold youngster who invites her to embark her on an adventure. First, they must climb a hill. The not-so-brave girl has a list of excuses why she can’t, but her new friend offers some gentle words of wisdom... Budde, who knows something about bravery herself, narrates this fablelike tale with a gently guiding tone that rings true. Notably, she stresses that being courageous is a work in progress: 'I think we’re all learning to be brave all the time.' Hatam’s illustrations depict sweet-faced, cartoonish characters against collage-style backdrops that pop with tactile textures... A boon to uncertain youngsters everywhere." – Kirkus Reviews
