Product Description

▼▲

Bernard Waber, creator of the beloved Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, explores many different kinds of courage in this look at the moments, big and small, that bring out bravery in each of us.

There are many kinds of courage. Awesome kinds. And everyday kinds.

Highlighting both the big and seemingly small actions of ordinary people—like being the first to make up after an argument or going to bed without a nightlight—Courage is the perfect read for anyone who needs a boost of confidence. With gentleness and humor, Bernard Waber presents an ideal read for milestones like graduation or starting school, or for gently responding to world events that feel overwhelming or scary. In moments that require resilience and compassion, Courage is an empowering balm for the spirit.
