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.
