Brave Enough for School

Brave Enough for School is a tender, reassuring picture book that follows Sammy, a bright-eyed child preparing for the very first day of school. Told in gentle, lyrical verse through Sammy's own voice, the story captures the swirl of feelings-nervous questions, hopeful wishes, and brave little steps-that come with being away from home for the first time.

From picking out a favorite outfit to whispering nighttime worries, Sammy's journey reflects the emotions every child carries into the classroom. With encouragement from loving parents and the discovery of new friends, Sammy learns that it's okay to feel unsure-and that courage doesn't mean having no fears, but stepping forward even when they're there.

Perfect for ages 3-7, this book is both a comforting read-aloud for families and an empowering tool for little learners beginning their school adventure. A timeless reminder that bravery isn't about being fearless-it's about believing in the courage already inside.
