'Can I Tell You About Courage?: A Helpful Introduction for Everyone' by Liz Gulliford with illustrations by Richy K. Chandler is a story that teaches the reader about different kinds of courage.
Briony wants to have a birthday party and invite all of her classmates, but her friends don't want Briony to invite the shy new girl, and insist that they won't attend if she does. Briony, who wants to be a firefighter knows a little bit about courage, but also learns about different courage. From a young girl who overcomes her fear of large dogs, to a young cancer patient who has to have the kind of courage with no clear outcome.
I like this book full of teachable moments. It's part of a series and I like the parents guid in the back as well as the discussion points for interactive reading.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Jessica Kingsley Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Take an easy enough to understand concept, like hope, and make a tons of allegory and metaphor to try to explain it. I don,t see the point, the explication are unnecessary and everything doesn't bring any helpful thinking or comprehension. You end up with conclusion like, good thinking can help you, but you also have to put the effort to achieve something... Yeah that was helpful! Seriously not worth it! Read the definition of hope in a dictionary if you're unsure what it mean and you gonna be alright don't worry!
