Bibliographic Information: Henkes, K. (2002). Sheila Rae, The Brave. New York, New York: Greenwillow Books.
Annotation: Sheila Rae doesn’t believe that she is afraid of anything. She’s not afraid of the cracks in the sidewalk or the mean dog down the street, or the principle at school. When Sheila Rae decided to walk home in a new direction alone one day after school she soon finds out she may not be as brave as she originally thought she was.
Genre: Picture book, Fable
Grade Level: K - 3
Who would like this book: I think that every child would enjoy this book. It’s funny and displays the lesson that you aren’t exactly what you believe you are. Sometimes you need that extra shoulder to support you along your journey throughout life.
Rating/Response: 4—I have learned to love Kevin Henkes and his stories they all have morals to them and create a new sense of adventure. Great book!!
One question before reading: Have you ever gotten lost before? Are you brave, why?
