Do It Scared: A Bravery Book for Kids About Building Confidence by Doing It Scared

By Didi Dragon

For ages 4-8, a poetic picture book about trying new things before you feel ready.

When a young girl feels too nervous to join the fun, her bold and loving aunt shows her a different kind of bravery: not the fearless kind, but the "I'm scared, and I'll try one small step" kind.

From saying hello to a new friend to stepping into the music, Do It Scared gently reminds kids that confidence doesn't always come first. Sometimes it grows after we try.

Told in lyrical rhyme with warmth, humor and heart, this empowering picture book helps children understand that feeling nervous doesn't mean they have to miss out. They can bring the scared feeling with them and discover what happens next.

Perfect for kids who feel shy, anxious, cautious, or unsure about trying new things, Do It Scared is a tender reminder that bravery begins with one small step.
