One girl's tummy flutters with butterflies. "Have courage," says Papa. But, she wonders, what exactly is courage? Papa lets her know that courage is the big, heroic feats--as well as the smaller everyday choices we make. With comforting, lyrical text, this story shows young readers that they too can be courageous every single day. Backmatter includes a note for parents on helping children develop their own sense of courage. (From Tilbury House Publishers)
