Today is a Very Brave Day
About the Book
The Very Brave Day is written in sweet, playful rhyme and inspired by real-life siblings Jacob and Eleanor, and their bravery. In the story we learn that bravery lives in everyday moments: it’s making a new friend, trying a new food, or finally putting your face in the water at swim class.
This story celebrates the quiet courage it takes to grow up and honors the grown-ups who cheer us on. Perfect for bedtime, classroom circle time, or moments when you need a little encouragement.

This book came to me as I was registering my kids for preschool and kindergarten. Now, that little spark is at the heart of Circle Time Stories.
Whether you’re bringing it home for your family, sharing it in your classroom, or gifting it to someone you know who could use a little courage…..thank you. I’m so glad you’re here!
