“Our unsure protagonist encounters another girl, a bold youngster who invites her to embark her on an adventure. First, they must climb a hill. The not-so-brave girl has a list of excuses why she can’t, but her new friend offers some gentle words of wisdom... Budde, who knows something about bravery herself, narrates this fablelike tale with a gently guiding tone that rings true. Notably, she stresses that being courageous is a work in progress: 'I think we’re all learning to be brave all the time.' Hatam’s illustrations depict sweet-faced, cartoonish characters against collage-style backdrops that pop with tactile textures... A boon to uncertain youngsters everywhere."" – Kirkus Reviews
