When I Couldn't Find My Brave
By James Trimboli

Some days, being brave feels easy. And some days... it feels far away.

When I Couldn't Find My Brave is a gentle, reassuring picture book for children who feel scared, unsure, or overwhelmed - especially at bedtime, when starting something new, or when big feelings take over.

Through simple, heartfelt words and warm illustrations, children follow a young boy as he searches for his brave and slowly learns an important truth: bravery doesn't mean never feeling scared - it means taking small steps, even when you are.

This calming story helps children:
- Understand and name their feelings
- Feel comforted during moments of anxiety
- Learn that bravery comes and goes - and always returns
- Feel supported, seen, and understood

Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussions, or quiet one-on-one moments, this book invites children to slow down, breathe, and remember that their brave is already inside them.

Ideal for ages 3-7, When I Couldn't Find My Brave is a meaningful read-aloud story that parents and caregivers will return to again and again.

A comforting reminder that even on the hardest days, bravery is never lost - it's just waiting to be found.
