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.
