Review Quotes:
"A fable wherein the courage of the lion was in the girl all along. Jackson imbues what could have been a tired concept with depth, breadth, and power. Great for reading aloud in a group or individual sharing and an excellent addition to all collections." --School Library Journal, starred review
"Charmingly illustrated, Everyday Brave by author/illustrator Colter Jackson is a fun read from start to finish." --Midwest Book Review
