Brave
by Stacy McAnulty (Author) Joanne Lew-Vriethoff (Illustrator)
An empowering picture book for all kids that demonstrates to children that they can be real-life superheroes and that all kids have what it takes to be brave.
Superheroes seek adventure, never give up, and stay calm when others are afraid. Superheroes are brave. But they aren't the only ones.
Kids are brave every day. When they are told they are too little, but accomplish something big. When they check for monsters under the bed, just in case. When they face something uncertain, whether a thunderstorm or a hospital visit. When they stand up for what's right, even when it means facing consequences.
Like superheroes, brave kids can save the world, just by being brave.
Thoughtful text from Stacy McAnulty paired with vibrant illustrations from Joanne Lew-Vriethoff encourage kids to be brave in all the ways they can: trying new things, speaking their mind, confronting bullies, and more. This book will inspire kids to follow their hearts and to have courage, no matter the situation.

PreS-Gr 2--When one thinks of the word "superhero," it is typically in reference to a fictional character from a comic book. Brave proves that anybody can be a superhero, even children. Superheroes display courage simply by checking under the bed at night. They show bravery by rescuing the local kitten. McAnulty uses everyday kids and everyday situations to show readers that they are capable of extraordinary things. The text is simple yet effective enough to leave a lasting impression. The cartoon illustrations are bold and bright and feature an array of diverse children as characters. A majority of young readers will be able to see themselves represented in the book, leaving them inspired to see the bravery in their own day-to-day decisions. VERDICT This heartwarming, affirming book is a must-have for most library collections. Great for one-on-one and small group sharing.--Jennifer Bludau, La Grange Independent School District, TX
