A fun-filled, inspirational picture book that redefines what it means to be brave. Young Wanda desperately wants to be brave like her big brother Zane, but it's not easy. When the Coaster of Doom opens at the local amusement park, Wanda is determined to show her bravery. With all eyes on her, Wanda must find the confidence to be her own kind of brave. That’s BRAVER THAN BRAVE! Mixing humor with themes of self-awareness and responsible decision-making, celebrated author Janet Sumner Johnson (Help Wanted, Must Love Books) demonstrates the importance of thinking for yourself, being confident in your own beliefs, and accepting differences in others. A must-have picture book for all kids, from anxious to outgoing and everything in between. Braver Than Brave: - Includes back matter with helpful tips to “Be Your Own Kind of Brave,” including how to speak in front of a class, exploring new activities, and more. - Demonstrates important social-emotional learning (SEL) skills, such as self-awareness and self-management. - Celebrates diversity of both body and mind.
"The picture book upends readers’ expectations. On the surface, it may seem like a book about learning to be brave enough to follow what others are doing, but it turns out that is not what Wanda wants at all. The story allows her the agency to choose, and it respects her choice. . . . Charming and modern. A must-add for most collections and necessary for the SEL shelves." - School Library Journal

Though her full-time occupation as evil tyrant/benevolent dictator (aka Mom) takes most of her time, she sneaks in writing at night when her inner funny bone is fully unleashed.
