Review run date was set for 28 April 2020 for Netgalley, unfortunately life stood at a standstill as I finished the final semester and three subjects of my studies. On 28 March 2021 I was set to write the review and my health became an emotional roller coaster so here I am today 03 October 2021 going to write my review will be post on my blog, Facebook blog, Amazon.com.au, goodreads, kobo, googlebooks and iBooks.
A little girl sums up the courage to see if the fluffy creature following her while keeping hidden in the shadows. A great book to teach children that different creatures or people can be nice and welcoming you just need to find your hidden courage to see if you can approach and make friendships with them.

I adored the cute illustrations in this book.


This is a cute book about taking risks and finding adventures. The bravery that was discovered was so sweet. It is one of those tough feelings to find and hang on to and I love when a book for kids does it well.

This is a cute little book about taking risks and having adventures and being brave when scary things and situations present themselves to you.

This is a cute and simple story about a little creature who could be something like a fairy, but more reminded me of one of The Littles (if you remember that cartoon from the 1980s). Or perhaps you would be more familiar with The Borrowers? And this little creature loves to go exploring around the house during the day, but is scared by some kind of a shadow. But this little crisis turns into a new kind of friendship. It inspires a sense of adventure, even in your own home, and kind of reminded me of my explorations around the house when I was a kid.

The drawings are also simple with a subtle color palette, but also inspire a sense of adventure and a bit of confidence with the creature who is narrating the story. It was a fun read.

Thank you to the publisher for fulfilling my review request via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was cute. It actually made me laugh. Black cats are the best and the illustrations really captured their playful nature.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a beautifully illustrated picture book about a little girl who plays make believe in her own house, imagining she is tiny and everything is bigger than her. Her imagination has no bounds and she has many adventures. Then she becomes scared as a shadow is following her which turns out to be a cat. She confronts the shadow using her bravery even though she is scared, and they end up having adventures together.

This is a different imaginative take on being brave and overcoming your fears for children.

A lovely concept with vivid, colourful illustrations weaving the story of the journey.

The illustrations are good, but I didn't find the story interesting. Maybe too simple, or I'm too old to understand it.
The title was what caught my attention. Perhaps the message I wanted to convey is that if we don't have a little courage we can miss out on great opportunities.

Beautiful illustrations - crisp and clear. The text follows these pictures and together they tell the story.
A lovely book for young kids learning to read.
It has the "scary" elements that really appeal to younger readers and a lovely, guessable ending. I can already hear kids shouting "More, More!"
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this book.

This is a cute little story, much in a similar vein to Arietty from the Borrowers or to Thumbelina. There is not too much to the story, and the illustrations really speak for themselves, but I really enjoyed how the girl had agency and took charge of conquering her fear, discovering something special in the end. The ending IS open-ended, but I think that leaves the story open for discussion and insight from the children reading it. I think this would be a good story for early readers or younger children, but I think older readers could find a special sort of comfort in conquering their own fears as well.

This is the book that to me show the safety inside our own bubble until something unusual came our way and then we became sacred because of it. This is a book that remind me to have a little courage and face my fear. Because sometimes, we may ended up experiencing a great thing that makes our lives better.
A Little Courage is also a wonderful book with wonderful illustration throughout. I adore it so so much. It makes me want to jump inside the book and just have fun with them.
So many takes that you can get from this book :) I really hope you'd pick it up.

A brief whimsical tale, A Little Courage follows a miniature sized girl as she goes about her day playing and discovering and overcoming fears. It’s primarily about curiosity and how everything can be an adventure to the eyes of a child and is full of delicate and charming illustrations. A quick but fun read, while the pictures are something you can spend longer looking at. (I enjoyed spying familiar things from my own household--the stovetop coffee maker, Moomin books on the shelf, a bit of organized mess.)

This book was super cute and had a great message. The book was all about being brave and making friends. The little girl is miniature so everything in her life is just a little bit harder. Once she meets a friend life becomes easier and they go on adventures together. The illustrations are beautiful, I like the muted colors and sketched look. What a fun story, I hope there’s another!

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

I love how the adventures adapt when they become friends. I could see their adventures changing again when they meet new friends beyond the house!

This cute little book is about overcoming a fear and discovering something wonderful in its place. In this story the child is mini-size (as im sure most lil kids feel in comparison to adults) and the child finds a fun companion in the fearful shadow that stalks her.
I felt the ending was abrupt, it was a very short story, but very cute. My granddaughter liked the visuals of the lil mini kid riding on the back of the cat!!

It was my first time reading a children's fiction book. I liked the illustration, tho i thought it could have been a little bit bold and more colorful as children are often interested in these kind of illustrations. Also the tiny girl might seem strange and not interesting to some kids. The story holds a few precious lessons for children and also adults, haha! Cherishing friendship, adventures and most of all courage!

Wonderful illustration style, and a whimsical new world. I am intrigued to see if Taltal Levi will continue this series outside of the home setting of this book. A Little Courage holds a lesson for children that sometimes things can be a lot less scary than they seem, and that if you give a new person in your life a chance - you can make a great friend along the way!

Thanks to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for providing me with a free copy of this book in return for an honest review. I am torn on this book. I keep thinking how this could have been somewhat like Thumbelina and instead we have a little person who romps through the house free as a lark until she sees a shadow. She has to overcome some fear to make friends with the cat who is making the shadow. At the end we see another shadow and the book ends. The illustrations are just OK, as is the story. Lots of dangerous items in the house the little person plays among and the little person has no real name or personality. Maybe a little girl will like this book, but I doubt little boys will get a thrill out of this. Is it an OK story but could have been better.

A tiny girl awakes every day to explore the great big world around her, and she is an extra tiny girl. One day she comes across a fluffy creature and must find the courage to find out what it is.

The illustrations in this children's book were wonderful. The whimsical story along with these images really made the book a great read. The author explored the wonders of the world from a smaller perspective and makes them so much more interesting.

I think that parents and their children alike will enjoy this book. It is fun and magical and overall just a gorgeous book.

There wasn't really a story here. You had 20 or so pages of 'story', some with a single word others with no words, and scratchy drawings with muted colours of a tiny girl going about her business in the house with no rhyme or reason. There was no 'courage' to speak of unless the act of charging the cat shadow with a pin is courage? I've come to expect some kind of moral or lesson to be weaved in a fun way through a kid's book and there was nothing to behold here. It was just a book about nothing that utterly failed to connect. Not one I'd recommend, I'm afraid!
