Picked this up for the cover, and am glad I did. The sweet, gentle message that bravery isn't limited to charging full throttle into battle, or overcoming all fears. Instead, this delightful picture book reminds us all the courage and bravery take many forms and are found in many different kinds of people.

Beautiful and colorful story showing all the different ways of being brave. I adore the fact that the term isn't defined just by typically heroic acts of muscle and daring, but also never giving up, standing back up, fighting for justice and fighting illness. Very simple text with detailed illustrations depicting a diverse cast of unnamed child characters.

Thanks to Running Press for the review copy of this title - all opinions are my own.

Highly recommended for purchase for school libraries and for all the brave kiddos in your life.

A story that came at the right time - looking at what it means to be brave is sometimes the quiet and little things we do.

All kids can be brave; this book helps them see all the ways in which they can live that. Another great book to share from the pair that brought us [b:Beautiful|29101499|Beautiful|Stacy McAnulty|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1470282897s/29101499.jpg|42818691].

I love this book. The words and pictures really work together to create something wonderful. This would be a great bedtime read. It seems quite simple at first with just a few words or a short sentence on each page but when combined with the illustrations you will find a lot to talk about.

This is a beautiful, sweet, strong, lovely book. Diverse, funny in places, and just generally celebratory of all the ways that kids can be brave.
