Big feelings are big work when you are six, seven, or eight.
Brave & Bright is a read-aloud story collection with one story for every big feeling: courage, worry, anger, kindness, honesty, resilience, empathy, patience, confidence, gratitude, friendship, and the power of "yet."
Each five-minute story follows one hero - Zara on the zip-line platform, Pip the rabbit and his worry cloud, Otto the otter and the not-yet trick - and shows the skill instead of preaching it. After every story, three "Let's Talk About It" questions turn story time into a real conversation. That's 36 conversation starters built in.
Inside: 12 illustrated stories (about 5 minutes each read aloud), one social-emotional skill per story, 3 discussion questions after every story, and a short note to grown-ups.
Written for parents, teachers, and counselors of kids ages 6-8. Read one tonight - by the twelfth night, you'll both have new words for the big stuff.
