Today I will dare to be daring.
You say this is pea and beef stew?
It’s green and it’s grimy.
It moved! And it’s slimy!
“I did it! I ate something new!”

From tasting a new food to a trip to the dentist (or the basement!), this picture book is an invitation to be brave in the face of what feels scary. Big or small, fears can feel overwhelming. What if I say “hi” but my new friend doesn’t say “hi” back? What if I get back on my bike and I fall again? What is that sound in the basement, anyway?!

Kids are courageous at heart, and every time they dare to be daring, they learn—with a little bit more certainty—that they are brave enough to try just about anything.

***STARRED REVIEW***
"Addressing our fears has never been this fun...a robust read-aloud and an excellent primer on modeling courage and thoughtful behavior...A fiercely reassuring, wonderfully whimsical ode to courage in the face of uncertainty."
