Zavi and the Brave Little Beat

Zavi loves making music when nobody is listening. But when she agrees to open Fernwood's Lantern Night, her happy rhythm disappears beneath wobbly paws, a fluttering tummy, and one very loud worry.With help from Auntie Sola and three friendly faces, Zavi learns a simple way to make room for nervous feelings and begin before she feels completely ready: Feet. Breath. Friend.Warm, reassuring, and beautifully illustrated, Zavi and the Brave Little Beat helps children understand that courage does not require nervous feelings to disappear-and that confidence can grow after one small brave step.Perfect for ages 5-8, classroom read-alouds, bedtime conversations, and families looking for gentle stories about: - managing big emotions- stage fright and performance anxiety- self-confidence and courage- recovering from mistakes- friendship and supportive coping skills
