Be brave! Have courage! When I say these things to my daughter, I’m usually trying to help her tap into her superhero strength to get through the trauma of a doctor’s visit or a vaccination. Courage is something we put on to face the monsters under the bed or other not-so-pleasant experiences. However, several of the books I’ve read recently seem to be teaching me a new way to think about courage. These stories demonstrate how living in community and putting others first are the most courageous things we can do. Sometimes, though, the first step is learning to believe in oneself.
