Sometimes courage is loud like an elephant, and sometimes it’s quiet like a llama.
Lily, a young autistic girl with a vivid imagination, wants to sing the solo in the school’s choir show. However, the thought of standing at center stage turns her heart a gloomy grey. School is overwhelming enough when no one is watching. Now all eyes will be on her. Will she overcome her fear and be bold and brave?
Bold and Brave is a whimsical picture book showcasing the heartwarming bond of family while visually drawing readers into Lily’s experience and inspiring them to be bold and brave. It’s aimed at readers aged 3 to 8.

My review:
This is a book for young children about being brave. The book is about a young child who is autistic having to sing a song in front of a crowd. I think the book would be a delight for children who have a similitude fear to face. I have a reader’s advance copy and at the top of the pictures it says the pictures might changed but I think the pictures are delightful and think children will enjoy them as much as the story.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from K.A. Cummins
“Bold and Brave” is about a young autistic girl who wants to sing a solo in the school’s choir show. While a colorful pair of socks initially inspired the fiction story, it was my personal experiences as a woman and as a mother that most influenced it.
Stories often use words to draw readers into what a character experiences, but I wanted to do something different for this story. I wanted the illustrations to show readers the parts of the young girl’s experience that are often harder to explain.
For some, the smallest actions can take effort and courage, and their boldness and bravery doesn’t always show on the outside.
I hope “Bold and Brave” inspires readers, and provides an accessible insight into one autistic experience.

Thank you for sharing Bold & Brave, Debbie!
Sounds like a great book for all ages! Thanks!!
Love this book premise. I know a lot of people with autistic children but honestly a lot of children are afraid to perform in public so I can see them being helped by these words
