About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels pressured to be tough or when they worry that their sensitive nature is a weakness rather than a strength. Sasha and Puck and the Cure for Courage is a gentle, magical story that centers on Sasha, the daughter of a magical apothecary, and her mischievous friend Puck. When a nervous soldier arrives seeking a potion to make him brave for a tournament, Sasha must help him discover that true courage is not the absence of fear, but the presence of kindness and empathy. This middle-grade tale is perfect for children ages 7 to 10 who are beginning to navigate social pressures and the definition of masculinity. It provides a beautiful framework for discussing how being 'soft' can actually be a superpower in a world that often demands we be 'hard.'
