Book Nook - Brave Bird

 

Little Bird is afraid to leave the nest for the first time, but Mama Bird tells her that sometimes you have to be brave if you want to learn new things. With some encouragement from her family and friends, Little Bird becomes Brave Bird as she finds her wings and takes flight. Little Bird’s journey to find the courage to fly helps her become Brave Bird—and gives children and adults alike a template they can use to conquer their own fears.
