Praise for Dare to Be Daring

***STARRED REVIEW*** "Addressing our fears has never been this fun...a robust read-aloud and an excellent primer on modeling courage and thoughtful behavior...A fiercely reassuring, wonderfully whimsical ode to courage in the face of uncertainty."
Kirkus

The creators have come up with an excellent book for caregivers and children who are struggling with their fears, for discussion or as a guide to pushing through.
