Sometimes courage is loud like an elephant, and sometimes it’s quiet like a llama.
Lily, a young autistic girl with a vivid imagination, wants to sing the solo in the school’s choir show. However, the thought of standing at center stage turns her heart a gloomy grey. School is overwhelming enough when no one is watching. Now all eyes will be on her. Will she overcome her fear and be bold and brave?
Bold and Brave is a whimsical picture book showcasing the heartwarming bond of family while visually drawing readers into Lily’s experience and inspiring them to be bold and brave. It’s aimed at readers aged 4 to 8.
“With its determined and likeable main character, Bold & Brave is a sweet and enjoyable story that provides a valuable window into the perceptions of an autistic child.” —BlueInk Review
“The author really reaches out not only to the Autism Community with this book, but the General Population also. I think the way the author writes this book is OUTSTANDING. I truly LOVED the character, Lily.” —Kendra, Happily Managing a Household of Boys
“Lily’s view of the world is different and is perfectly depicted by images that show her being sensitive to sounds and light, and having thoughts of wild animals. I loved the beautiful illustrations because they were colorful and corresponded perfectly with the story. I hope to read more from this author because this is a brilliant work. I highly recommend parents and caregivers read this book with their children, teach them how to be brave, and assure them of your love and care.” —Luwi Nyakansaila, Readers’ Favorite, A five-star review
