The Ploofers have just learnt a valuable lesson in celebrating differences and trying new things. They've been practising something very special again and this time it requires extra teamwork...

With simple, striking illustrations and a cutaway cover design that adds tactile interest, A Little Bit of Courage picks up right where A Little Bit Different left off. With a subtle yet powerful message on overcoming anxiety and finding the courage to live life to its fullest, this book will resonate with children and adults alike.
