Courage

What is courage?

Certainly it takes courage for a firefighter to rescue someone trapped in a burning building, but there are many other kinds of courage too.

Everyday kinds that normal, ordinary people exhibit all the time, like "being the first to make up after an argument," or "going to bed without a nightlight."

Bernard Waber explores the many varied kinds of courage and celebrates the moments, big and small, that bring out the hero in each of us.
