Find Your Brave: A Coco and Bear Story

Coco and Bear find their brave in this charming sequel to the New York Times bestseller Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light.

Coco and Bear are excited to perform their super special dance at the summer festival…until Coco loses her brave during dress rehearsal! Bear offers to help Coco find it and they start by asking their friends: “How do you find your brave?” Even after trying their friends’ suggestions, though, Coco still doesn’t have her I-can-do-anything brave back. So she and Bear decide to drop out of the show.

But when things take an unexpected turn and Bear gets into trouble, Coco quickly comes to his rescue. Could it be that her brave was never lost—it was just hiding behind her fear? And if that’s true, then perhaps Coco has enough brave to join Bear on stage after all.
