Benny the Brave Beaver (Maple-Shade Stories #4)
Meet Benny - the best builder in Maple-Shade Woods. He can stack logs straighter than anyone and patch leaks in a blink... but deep water makes his whiskers twitch. When a storm cracks the community dam, Benny must face his biggest fear to save his friends - using his B.R.A.V.E. Toolbox: Breathe, Remember strengths, Ask for help, Visualize success, and Execute the plan.
This gentle, beautifully illustrated story helps young readers see that courage doesn't mean having no fear - it means moving forward with fear, one small step (and tail slap ) at a time. Perfect for kids who worry, hesitate, or need a simple "exposure ladder" to tackle big feelings in safe steps.
