This gorgeous picture book about finding your bravery is perfect for fans of Corinna Luyken and Julie Morstad.

Some days are brave days. . . some days are not.

The butterflies are back in May’s tummy on the first day of school. She thinks back to other brave days and tries to hop, skip, and dance away her worries. Nothing helps and May wishes she could simply fly away. But her mom reassures her that everyone has worries, even the birds, bees, and butterflies. With a little time, May will feel ready to spread her wings again.

From author/illustrator Lucy Morris comes a beautifully gentle picture book about working through your worries and finding courage in your own authentic way.
