"Taking a smart and engaging route to helping children find their inner hero to navigate through the challenging and obstacle-ridden path of life, "Becoming Even More Courageous" offers a wealth of ideas and activities that can be applied across a range of age groups. Matthew Baganz adeptly uses a variety of cognitive and emotional nudges that move a learner through and beyond levels of comfort. Activities are couched within curricular areas so that children can move across familiar (and not-so-familiar) terrains of science, language arts, mathematics, social studies and humanities, visual and performing arts, environment and natural resources, physical education and technology to discover new ways of understanding and expressing themselves and to think through their relationships with the physical, psychological, and emotional worlds they inhabit. Leafing through the richly illustrated ten chapters of the workbook made me want to stop, pick up a pencil, and engage--the design and content are certainly inviting!"
