Brave Irene


Bibliographic Information: Steig, W. (1986). Brave Irene. Illus. William Steig. Canada: Douglas & McIntyre Ltd.

Brief Annotation: This is an inspiring story of a one girl's bravery, determination and resolve to honor her mother's hard work.
Genre: Storybook
Grade Level: K-3
Readers who will like this: For anyone who has been faced with a daunting task and overwhelming obstacles that try to keep you from it will enjoy this story.
Response/Rating: I want to be Irene! She is full of determination, sass and has plenty to say to the forces that would keep her from accomplishing her goals. I love that the hero in this story is in fact a heroine. As a professional nanny, I have used this story as an illustration of what it means to be brave and determined. I love the fact that Steig even gave the wind a personality. I rate this book 4 of 4.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: What do the words 'Bravery' and 'Determination' mean to you? How have you been brave and determined?
