By: Carey Randall

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Milo thinks being brave means doing something big, like climbing high, running fast, or saving the day.

But at school, Milo learns that real bravery can feel quiet and hard.

When he sees someone being left out, Milo has to decide whether to speak up. Later, when he makes a mistake, he has to find the courage to apologize. And when his class project does not go right the first time, Milo has to be brave enough to try again.

With help from Dad and Ms. Rivera, Milo learns that bravery is not about being fearless. Bravery is doing the right thing even when your heart feels nervous.
