Bravery is displayed in many different ways. Sometimes it is loud and obvious, and others, it is shown in silence. In a world that is so unpredictable and overwhelming at times, we must encourage our children to recognise their strength and empowerment. Brave As Can Be shows children the reality of bravery in real, everyday moments. Each example is relatable so that children may recognise that same quality and courage within themselves too.

Resilience and bravery exist in the small moment, the choices we make to keep going. Brave As Can Be reminds us that it is okay to have doubt and be afraid. It’s not those feelings that define us, but the decisions we make despite them. Brave As Can Be is an excellent resource for teachers and parents to support children to believe in themselves and keep going even when everything seems so difficult. This book is an invaluable addition to early childhood learning with social and emotional skills as its focus. This is Kylie Allen’s first children’s book, born out of a love for her work supporting families through the stages of preschool and formative years.
