Benji Baloney Learns to Be Brave

From the author and illustrator of Belinda Baloney Changes Her Mind, Benji Baloney Learns to be Brave is a children's book about a young boy coming to understand the true meaning of bravery.




As Benji grows up and manages scraped knees and hurt feelings, he thinks that to be brave means being tough and physically strong. But could being brave also mean knowing your right from your wrong? Can brave look like standing proud with hands on your hips? Or can brave look like letting the tears hit your lips?




Benji Baloney learns from role models, including his dad and his favorite baseball player, that we can be brave in so many ways, including being ourselves and expressing our emotions.




The engaging rhymes and colorful pictures in Benji Baloney Learns to Be Brave will entertain the youngest readers while the message reminds us all, young and old, what it looks like to be brave.
