Beauregard's Brave Leap

Reach for this book when your child is standing on the edge of a new experience but feels too nervous to take the first step. Whether it is starting swim lessons, joining a playgroup, or attempting a slide at the park, Beauregard's story provides a gentle mirror for those 'frozen' moments. The book explores the internal physical sensations of anxiety and the quiet power of incremental progress. Through the relatable journey of a small frog, children ages 3 to 7 learn that bravery is not the absence of fear, but the decision to try anyway. Rosie Baskett uses a soothing narrative pace to validate a child's hesitation while modeling how to break big challenges into manageable hops. It is an ideal choice for building self-confidence and normalizing the physical jitters that come with growing up.
