Little Bit Brave

by Nicola Kinnear

Logan is a rabbit who prefers the predictable safety of his burrow over the unpredictable chaos of the great outdoors. He has cultivated a life of cozy routines, but when a friend nudges him toward an adventure, he has to decide if his desire for comfort is stronger than his curiosity. Nicola Kinnear captures the specific, heavy weight of anxiety that comes with trying something new, but she balances it with a visual warmth that keeps the story feeling light and encouraging. The pacing is gentle and patient, allowing readers to sit with Logan in his hesitation before celebrating his small, significant steps forward. It is a wonderful pick for children who feel things deeply or anyone who needs a quiet reminder that you do not have to be fearless to be brave, you just have to be willing to take that first step.
