Brave Ben

A charming and engaging picture book, to hearten the frightened child, showing children metaphorically that they can be braver than they think.On his journey through the woods to meet the Magical Tree, fearful Ben gets less scared with every step he takes - without even noticing. He is able to boldly confront a dragon, a giant spider and a gnarled witch, because the Magical Tree has already told him that these weird creatures are in fact harmless. Clear sparkling text illustrated in hazy, dreamy watercolours.
