New in our collection: You’re Brave and Able, Too by Zara McDonald
We’re excited to share a new addition to our library shelves, You’re Brave and Able, Too by Zara McDonald.
This beautifully written and illustrated children’s book is a heartwarming exploration of courage, confidence, and self-belief. Through gentle storytelling and relatable characters, Zara McDonald encourages young readers to recognise their own strength and face life’s challenges with kindness and resilience.
In this beautifully illustrated hardcover picture book, Zara will guide children through moments when big emotions take over. With warmth and understanding, she shows how taking a pause and focusing on the simple act of breathing can help calm the body and mind.
Little readers will learn how to use slow, steady breaths to find calm, regain perspective, and move through their feelings, ready to face challenges and return to life’s adventures.
Whether paired with a Breathing Buddy or enjoyed on its own, this story is a wonderful tool for helping children understand and manage their emotions. The book also includes helpful resource pages with tips on introducing calm breathing techniques to young readers.
