While the other animals run, play, and laugh in the sunshine, Ollie stays behind. Loud noises, big moments, and new situations make his knees shake and his heart race. He wishes he could be brave-but fear keeps holding him back.

Then one stormy day, everything changes.

In a powerful and heartwarming journey, Ollie discovers that courage isn't about being fearless-it's about caring enough to try.
