Thank you to NetGalley and Baker Publishing Group for an advanced read copy of this adorable and supportive book by Sissy Goff!

I was excited to receive a copy of this book as I’ve read several of Sissy Goff’s books and follow the Raising Boys and Girls Podcast which have all been helpful in my parenting journey.

Lucy Learns to be Brave is about a sweet little pup that is often fearful. As a mom of a first grader that struggles with anxiety, it was a great bedtime read for us. She easily identified with Lucy and the book lead to some great discussions of her own struggles and fears. The book shared the importance of focusing on how we are more brave than afraid, a great reminder for all children. I would highly recommend this book for a child’s personal library or as a resource for children’s counselors, therapists, and social workers!

This was cute and fun, but I feel it is very niche once it mentions Daystar. It is a cute book about being brave, but to me it doesn't suit a library setting because it directly mentions a specific counselling group. I feel if it mentioned counselling in general or therapy in general, it would be a significantly more accessible book, but I do think it suits its purpose well.
