This beautiful, colourful book explores how Little One is too afraid and describes his feelings with real empathy.

The reader watches as the group comes together to support and encourage Little One, helping them take one step at a time toward bravery. The author creates a beautiful, safe space to explore feelings of fear and how we find courage.

This book is a follow-up to A Little Bit Different, where we first meet the wonderful Ploofers. While readers can fully enjoy this story on its own, it is sure to inspire children to seek out the first book as well. With a simple yet engaging narrative, the words come to life through soft, inviting illustrations, creating a warm, inclusive, and enveloping reading experience.

A Little Bit of Courage can resonate with both young children and adults, making it a must-have on any list of top well-being books for young readers.
