Brave Kids will help children work through big emotions and tough situations. What a gift to offer wisdom, insight, and real tools through imagination and play. It's an important resource for kids who are pushed into bravery before they know how. Kera Sanchez, Editor-in-Chief of Get Griefy Magazine, Trauma-informed Secondary Educator, and Mother I applaud all of the Brave Kids authors for creating these survival guides for today's children. In a rough world it is so refreshing to read the stories that could help any child navigate through life's sometimes turbulent waters. These books give children the tools they need to not only cope, but to thrive in today's world. Shelly Mateer, Author, Single in the CIA, the Mingling in the CIA series, Mission: Stand Down, Mommy Thinks She's a Monster, The Lemon Seed, and The Adventures of Shelly Beach series This compelling collection effortlessly captures the nuances of childhood and the universal quest for connection. With authenticity and warmth, each story explores the subtle challenges of feeling unseen, the courage it takes to break down barriers, and the magic that happens when we open ourselves to new friendships. Written with a clear, inviting voice, the book speaks directly to readers who appreciate stories that are both relatable and inspiring. It highlights that real strength lies not in what we have, but in how we embrace our differences and come together to build something meaningful. Fresh, honest, and uplifting, this collection is a timely reminder that belonging is a journey we all share-and that sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness and bravery can change everything. Kathryne Mejias, Founder of BORN FOR MORE I very much appreciate Brave Kids Volume 3, which contains a collection of short stories about real experiences where the contributor is challenged with a life situation, experience, or dilemma. All of these stories are well written and share thoughts and feelings that are identifiable and relatable for children and adults alike. The book is very readable, has varied stories and topics, and is written in a way that normalizes thoughts and feelings that many of us have but often don't share. There is an integral message to each of the short stories...at least one of these short stories, you are sure to identify with yourself, or know someone that the story would reach. Whether it is a story, song, or poem, this book not only offers honest insight but has a wellness-based approach that brings the reader back to a genuinely positive message that everyone deserves and needs to hear. All the while, this collection reminds us about what being brave really means, which is not that we aren't scared, but that we face or endure something despite being scared. Kathryn Lail, LMHC, CR Wood Cancer Center From the moment this book lands in your hands, you will see its extraordinary nature, from the beautiful cover-art rendering of fantasy and bravery and delight by K. J. Kaschula, Lead Author, poet, and artist, to the to 25 wonderful stories of guiding stars, protection from bullies by magical bears, cuddly collies that become the truest of friends, twin froglets delivered from abuse, and so much more. This book invites little ones (and you!) to be part of a gathering, a flowering, an opening, and a guide to exploring life's tough situations that help children find strength and self-love.""
