Bradley Trevor Greive (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

The world can be a scary place. But if you believe in yourself and carry with you just a teaspoon of courage, nothing will stand in your way." --Bradley Trevor Greive, from A Teaspoon of Courage for Kids: A Little Book of Encouragement for Whenever You Need It

New York Times best-selling author Bradley Trevor Greive pens the perfect pick-me-up for any child beleaguered by bullies, enfeebled by exams, or traumatized by toothaches.

Aimed at timid tots who could use a little sugarcoated courage to face tough and intimidating times, A Teaspoon of Courage for Kids offers a humorously warm and courageously supportive story line for those days when your child would rather crawl back under the covers than face up to a bully or take that dreaded test.

Captivating black-and-white animal photographs illustrate the book throughout and are the ideal accompaniment to Bradley Trevor Greive's emboldening narrative of practical tips for courageous living.

I love these books and everyone that comes out for kids I buy at least two one for my own collection and one for whatever classroom my youngest is in. The pictures are great and the text that goes along with them are encouraging and humorous. I think every classroom needs a set of these books(3 so far). They seem to bring abstract ideas to a more concrete level in a fun and funny way.

Not as good as Blue Day, but equally guaranteed to produce giggles from kids. My kids love the photos of animals that this book offers and reach for it again and again.
