About the Book
A young girl finds it easy to be brave when she has her lion by her side. But when a classmate points out that her lion is only in her imagination, the world feels a lot scarier . . . until the little girl tries a roar of her own.Book Synopsis
One little girl finds it easy to speak up, make new friends, and shoo away the monsters under her bed when she has a great big lion by her side. Next to her lion, nothing is scary--not even broccoli. But when a classmate tells her the lion is only in her imagination, that bravery vanishes. Suddenly, the world is scary again. Until the little girl tries a roar of her own and discovers that maybe the courage she needed was inside her all along.
At once fierce and tender, Colter Jackson's Everyday Brave is a book about finding your footing, facing your fears, and discovering the lion-like roar within.
Review Quotes
"A fable wherein the courage of the lion was in the girl all along. Jackson imbues what could have been a tired concept with depth, breadth, and power. Great for reading aloud in a group or individual sharing and an excellent addition to all collections." --School Library Journal, starred review
"Charmingly illustrated, Everyday Brave by author/illustrator Colter Jackson is a fun read from start to finish." --Midwest Book Review
