The Very Brave Day

A Celebration of Everyday Courage

Inspired by children and their small, daily acts of bravery, The Very Brave Day is a gentle, rhyming story that helps little hearts see the courage they already carry. From meeting a new friend to trying something for the first time, it reminds children that bravery doesn’t have to be loud! It just has to begin.

Why We Tell These Stories

At Circle Time Stories, we believe life’s biggest lessons often live in the smallest moments. Our books help children recognize the bravery, kindness, and courage they already carry, in ways they can truly feel and understand.

Sometimes it’s walking into a new classroom.
Sometimes it’s trying a food you’ve never tasted before.
Sometimes it’s saying hello to a new friend in class.

Our first book, The Very Brave Day, celebrates these quiet acts of courage that happen every day. If you or a little one in your life needs this gentle reminder — that bravery doesn’t need a cape or a parade, it just needs to begin, you can start here.
