About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is eager to start a new hobby but becomes quickly frustrated when they aren't an instant expert. It is perfect for the transition from 'superhero play' to real-world skill-building. The story follows friends Kerry and Zack, who love a fictional archer named Brave Bowie. When they attend a real archery class, they realize that hitting the bullseye requires patience and focus rather than magic arrows. This early reader gently validates the disappointment of being a beginner while celebrating the small, hard-earned victories of practice. It is an excellent choice for children ages 5 to 7 who are learning to navigate the gap between imagination and reality, helping them build the resilience needed to keep trying when things get tough.

The book is entirely secular and safe for all audiences. It deals with the minor ego-bruising that comes with being a novice. The resolution is realistic: they don't become masters overnight, but they find joy in the process.
