Am I Brave?: Learning About Courage, Confidence, and Trying

By Jason Himes

Is your child learning what it means to be brave?

Am I Brave? is a heartwarming and empowering children's picture book designed to help kids understand courage, confidence, and how to face big fears in everyday life.

Through gentle storytelling and relatable moments, young readers will discover that being brave doesn't mean never feeling scared-it means trying anyway.

Build Unshakeable Confidence - Helps kids believe in themselves when tackling new milestones.

Manage Fear & Anxiety - Validates real-world childhood anxieties (like nighttime shadows or shots).

Develop Emotional Resilience - Teaches the value of trying, even when things feel hard or scary.

Feel Proud of Their Effort - Reminds children that stepping out of their comfort zone is a victory.
