I Can Learn to be Brave
Mariann Edgar Budde

Book Description:
From the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde, comes a picture book that teaches the smallest readers that no voice is too quiet, no message too small, to have an impact on a friend.
There once was a girl who wished she was brave.
But mostly . . .
She was not.
A little girl is scared to try new things. New things are hard! What if she fails? What if someone sees her fail? She laments that she’d like to be brave, but how does she start when the world is so big and she is so small?
Luckily, another very brave girl takes her under her wing and shows her how to be brave in those small decisive moments that children may not realize beckon bravery forward. Climbing a hill, using a rope swing, and finding the most beautiful sunset. For those little moments–Bishop Budde argues–are the ones that become the biggest lessons.
Inspired by her adult book How We Learn to Be Brave, Bishop Budde’s words can now be read and held close by readers of all ages. Children are never too young to learn that they can effect change, and this brilliant text, accompanied by gorgeous art by New York Times bestselling illustrator Holly Hatam, is one that will inspire generations to come.
“A boon to uncertain youngsters everywhere.” – Kirkus Reviews
