Sometimes it is hard to be brave, especially for children! But it IS possible, and rewarding. Read Bentley the Brave, by author Jocelyn Newman. This dear children's story is about overcoming fear. --Margie McCurry

Bentley is a soccer ball...and gee -- getting kicked by soccer shoes and heads is really scary! So Bentley is afraid, and scoots into a soccer bag and hides. But then...when another ball loses air...his team needs him. So, bravely, Bentley decides to try once more and finds the blue sky is really pretty, and the grass isn't prickly after all. When Bentley shares his ability, his team wins and so do the children who read this book! --Wanna Read a Good Book

This is such a cute, cute book and the graphic artist, Linda T. Phillips loved, loved, loved drawing it. She said the drawings came easily to her because the topic was right up her alley as a fun-loving grandmother. Bentley will make a great gift for the holidays for the children YOU know, so order it today! --Digi-Tall Media
