A man of Native American descent contemplates what lessons he will pass on to his newborn son in this heartfelt, expansive exploration of fatherhood, identity, and legacy.

Based on the true story of the birth of his son, Be Brave reflects the thoughts that went through author Anthony Falcon's mind when he first held his child after the baby and his wife endured a life-threatening labor during Hurricane Harvey's landfall in Corpus Christi,Texas. Having felt adrift from his Apache roots after the passing of his mother, Falcon found himself with a deep desire to understand his heritage so that he might better bestow it upon his son. Through a list of precepts, each ending with "be brave", the book tells the tale of little Lakota's arrival into the world, of Falcon's struggle to reconnect with a heritage that was lost to him, and a father's attempt to describe what it means to be a Native American man in America today.

Industry Reviews

"Mason's watercolor artwork mixes moments of striking portraiture alongside stormy landscapes, and Falcon, who bases the story on the birth of his own son, named Lakota, offers a multilayered celebration of resilience, ancestry, and bravery."
