Oh, don’t I love this!

Wanda wants to be brave like her big brother and friends. She wants to go on adventures and ride the Coaster of Doom. But can she get over her fear and be brave? Is there only one kind of brave? What does Wanda do?

This cute book comes with great lessons for the little ones:
• There are different kinds of brave
• Be how you are
• Stand up for yourself
• You decide your adventures

In just 32 pages, the book takes us through Wanda’s journey from being timid and scared to conquering her fears in her own way. She is braver than brave, but on her terms. The book also has a few tips at the end to help kids step out of their comfort zone and do something different.

The illustrations are charming and beautiful. Wanda’s messy ponytails and freckles are the prettiest! Those big eyes and wide smiles are super cute. Kids will love the illustrations in this one.

To sum up, Braver than Brave is just the kind of book kids need to build their self-confidence and learn to make their own ‘wise’ decisions.

I received an ARC from NetGalley, Capstone, and Capstone Editions and am voluntarily leaving a review.
