School is overwhelming enough when no one is watching. Now all eyes will be on her. Will she overcome her fear and be bold and brave?

My Thoughts on Bold and Brave

Bold and Brave is a cute children’s story that will have you reading it more than once and the illustrations are gorgeous as well!  They’re really super cute and add amazingly to the book.

While I do not personally have any children with autism I do have children with their own unique brand of struggle.  Watching them overcome things that seem huge to them is amazing and powerful.  And yet the world goes on without even pausing or acknowledging this huge thing they did. 

That is a bit of what this book felt like to me.  How one person can be brave in small ways and it can change the course of their life.  It can fill them and fill those around them with passion and life plus so much love. 

This is such a sweet book.  It says geared towards ages 4-8 but I do see my older kids enjoying it as well.  My teens try to pretend they’re not listening as I read it to the younger ones but I know they are still listening.  I love that it starts out with a scripture verse as well. Grab your copy and enjoy it today!

More from K.A. Cummins

This book is about a young autistic girl who wants to sing a solo in the school’s choir show. While a colorful pair of socks initially inspired the fiction story, my personal experiences as a woman and as a mother most influenced it.

Stories often use words to draw readers into a character’s experiences, but I wanted to do something different for this story. I wanted the illustrations to show readers the parts of the young girl’s experience that are often harder to explain.

For some, the most minor actions can take effort and courage, and their boldness and bravery don’t always show on the outside.

I hope “Bold and Brave” inspires readers, and provides an accessible insight into one autistic experience.
