Reach for this book when your child expresses that they are not brave enough for a new challenge or when they feel like they are the only ones who feel afraid. This story follows the journey of the Cowardly Lion, a character who believes he is missing a heart for courage despite constantly acting to protect his friends. It speaks directly to the common childhood anxiety that fear is a sign of weakness, rather than a prerequisite for bravery. Through this animal-led fantasy, children ages 4 to 9 learn that bravery is not the absence of fear, but the choice to move forward anyway. It is an ideal choice for normalizing big feelings and opening a gentle dialogue about self-worth and the hidden strengths we already possess.
