Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Stand Up for Yourself: The Kids' Book of Courage
Anders Hanson · 2014
58/100
👎 Skip It
This is a solid, standards-aligned little book — plain, concrete examples like asking for help and telling the truth make courage easy for young kids to grasp. It reads more like a classroom character-ed tool than a storybook, so don't expect much narrative pull. A dependable pick for teaching the concept, even without outside reviews to back it up.
