She's shy, unsure, and filled with butterflies in her tummy. But with her loyal pup Waffles by her side and gentle encouragement from Ms. Rose, Grace discovers that bravery comes in small, steady steps. Whether it's joining in during circle time, drawing beside a new classmate, or sharing a laugh with someone new, Grace finds her own quiet way to belong. Along the way, young readers learn that it's okay to feel nervous, and that being brave doesn't mean being fearless-it just means trying, even when it's hard. Perfect for ages 3-7, this heartwarming picture book reassures kids that new experiences can lead to wonderful friendships and inner confidence-one small step at a time.
