Riley Finds a Brave Voice

With a beloved stuffed lion named Leo close by, Riley learns how to stand steady, take one slow breath, and use a calm, clear voice. Whether someone takes Riley's belongings, uses unkind words, or applies pressure to break a rule, Riley discovers that it is possible to be kind while still saying no.

Through colorful illustrations and reassuring examples, young readers will learn how to:

Speak up calmly and respectfullySet healthy personal boundariesRespond to teasing and exclusionResist pressure to break a ruleWalk away from an uncomfortable situationAsk a trusted grown-up for helpBelieve that their voice and feelings matter

Warm, positive, and emotionally empowering, Riley Finds a Brave Voice helps children understand that courage does not always mean being loud. Sometimes courage begins with one steady breath and a few clear words.

Perfect for families, classrooms, counselors, and children ages 5-7 who are developing confidence, assertiveness, emotional awareness, and positive social skills.
