Summary

What is courage? Certainly it takes courage for a firefighter to rescue someone trapped in a burning building, but there are many other kinds of courage too. Everyday kinds that normal, ordinary people exhibit all the time, like “being the first to make up after an argument,” or “going to bed without a nightlight.” Bernard Waber explores the many varied kinds of courage and celebrates the moments, big and small, that bring out the hero in each of us.

From the publisher

Bernard Waber, creator of the beloved Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, explores many different kinds of courage in this look at the moments, big and small, that bring out bravery in each of us.

There are many kinds of courage. Awesome kinds. And everyday kinds.

Highlighting both the big and seemingly small actions of ordinary people--like being the first to make up after an argument or going to bed without a nightlight--Courage is the perfect read for anyone who needs a boost of confidence. With gentleness and humor, Bernard Waber presents an ideal read for milestones like graduation or starting school, or for gently responding to world events that feel overwhelming or scary. In moments that require resilience and compassion, Courage is an empowering balm for the spirit.

Media reviews

In this poignant yet entertaining volume, versatile author and artist Waber takes a look at the various ways in which kids, the occasional grown-up and one endearing canine display bravery.
Publishers Weekly, Starred

“…this [book] develops a timely topic in simple, sensitive ways.” Kirkus Reviews

“…this title may prove a valuable discussion starter, heavier on charm than on didacticism.” The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“Veteran author-illustrator Waber offers a simple book with his familiar combination of crayon-colored sweetness and agitated line.” Booklist, ALA
