My Brave Year of Firsts: Tries, Sighs, and High Fives is a fun look at all the exciting and and at times terrifying firsts that take place for a child in first grade. From riding a two wheeler without training wheels to jumping in a lake, this tale highlights a myriad of firsts that little ones encounter. I like the fact that firsts don’t just happen in this book. The fact that they require one to be brave and have determination is explored. A great inspirational tale that includes fun, colorful illustrations.
