Sheila Rae The Brave, by Kevin Henkes

Synopsis: The mouse heroine of Henkes's pitch-perfect comedy doesn't frighten easily; she even growls at stray dogs. But when she gets lost, it's her "scaredy cat" sister who helps her find the way home. Ages 4-up.

Activity: We chatted with the kids about what brave things Sheila and her sister did, and what it means to be brave. The kids then made a medal for bravery for themselves. At the back of the medal, they wrote "I am brave when I... (fill in the blanks)". They then presented the medals to each other.
