'Can I Tell You About Courage?: A Helpful Introduction for Everyone' by Liz Gulliford with illustrations by Richy K. Chandler is a story that teaches the reader about different kinds of courage.
Briony wants to have a birthday party and invite all of her classmates, but her friends don't want Briony to invite the shy new girl, and insist that they won't attend if she does. Briony, who wants to be a firefighter knows a little bit about courage, but also learns about different courage. From a young girl who overcomes her fear of large dogs, to a young cancer patient who has to have the kind of courage with no clear outcome.
I like this book full of teachable moments. It's part of a series and I like the parents guid in the back as well as the discussion points for interactive reading.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Jessica Kingsley Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
This book was a nice way to discuss courage with older children. I gives many different examples of courage and has many opportunities to pause and question your child. Due to the relatively small number of illustrations and slowish pacing I'd recommend it for older children. My 6 year old daughter said she liked it, but didn't seem that enthusiastic.
