Capping Courage
Capping Courage
By: Judy Wright Brooks
Capping Courage is a unique story that invites the reader to experience the life, joys, and hardships of Kort Olanna, a young Inuit boy who must take on the responsibility of supporting his family after his father's untimely death. The bitter cold of the region and his sensitive, timid nature are a trying but motivating experience that help to change his fearfulness into a growing, courageous heart. That, along with the solving of a crime, creates a powerful message to children young and old.
