Bol

Not Yet Is Still Brave' is a gentle, empowering children's book that celebrates courage, persistence, and the magic of growth-especially when things feel hard. This beautifully illustrated story reminds children that bravery doesn't mean getting things right the first time; sometimes, the bravest word of all is "not yet."Perfect for young readers navigating big feelings, self-doubt, or frustration, 'Not Yet Is Still Brave' supports children to understand that learning, emotional regulation, and confidence all take time. Through warm storytelling and relatable moments, the book normalises mistakes, encourages self-belief, and helps children build a healthy relationship with challenge. It gently reinforces that effort, trying again, and asking for help are all acts of courage.Written from a strengths-based, neuro-affirming perspective, this story is ideal for children who experience anxiety, perfectionism, fear of failure, or low confidence. It is especially supportive for neurodivergent children, sensitive children, and those learning to trust their own pace. Rather than focusing on what children 'can't' do, the story honours who they are becoming-one brave step at a time.'Not Yet Is Still Brave' is a valuable resource for families, educators, therapists, and wellbeing practitioners. It naturally supports conversations around emotional resilience, executive functioning, growth mindset, and self-compassion, making it a powerful tool for classrooms, homes, and counselling spaces. The language is accessible and affirming, allowing children to see themselves reflected with kindness and hope.Created by an Australian author, illustrator, (Tenille Dowe) and teacher, this children's picture book is written and printed in Australia and thoughtfully designed to nurture emotional wellbeing, confidence, and belonging. It pairs beautifully with social and emotional learning programs and is suitable for early childhood and primary-aged readers. 'Not Yet Is Still Brave' is more than a story-it's a reassuring reminder that growth takes time, feelings are valid, and courage lives in every small step forward.
