Why am I passionate about this?
I have written 60 books over the past 20 years. My titles include picture books, poetry books, and dozens of nonfiction books covering a wide range of history and social studies topics. My picture books deal with concepts such as counting and colors. I enjoy rhyming and wordplay and conveying ideas in simple terms.

Why did John love this book?
This engaging book presents three young children being brave in three scary situationsâa thunderstorm, the first day of school, and getting a shot at the doctorâs office. Using very simple rhyming text, Karla Clark captures the fear of these events and shows the children overcoming that fear. This is a great book for parents to use with preschoolers in discussing ways to deal with being frightened. Jeff Ĺstbergâs artwork effectively portrays the childrenâs fear, as well as their pride in overcoming it. The cover art is especially striking.
1 author picked Three Ways to Be Brave as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. This book is for kids age 3, 4, and 5.
Told in gentle, rhyming couplets, this collection of stories presents relatable moments of unease and the strength found in conquering fears. A roaring nighttime thunderstorm, the first day of preschool, and a doctor's visit, in turn, encourage young readers to forge their own paths of strength in times of distress. Illustrated in rich, emotional scenes that depict vignettes of daily life, this book provides comfort and empowerment for resilience and resolution.
