Braver than Brave by Janet Sumner Johnson is a children's picture book that follows a year in the life of Wanda, a young girl who does not feel very brave. When faced with peer pressure she makes the right choice for her, which doesn't always mean doing something scary. This book shows children that being brave can look many different ways, including standing up for yourself and taking your own path.
A feel good book with excellent illustrations and a very important message, this book will definitely be in my Grade 3 classroom library in the near future. I highly recommend this title for teachers and parents who want to show young readers that bravery can come in all shapes and sizes and being confident in yourself is the most important thing. I so appreciate the opportunity to read and review this book through Netgalley and the publisher. I love finding new titles for my classroom library and can't wait to share this book with my students one day in the future!
Please note that at the time of writing this blog, only the kindle edition is available on Amazon (link above). I will try to remember to come back to this post in the future to update the link once a paperback and/or hardcover edition are also available.
