GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 1, 2021—What does it mean to be brave? Bravery comes in all shapes and sizes, the requirements of which are tailored to an individual’s unique life experiences—including children. Today’s kids are going through a lot, from bullying and anxiety to loneliness and loss, and though they may feel fearful or anxious, they’re already braver than they know.

In her new book, 100 Days to Brave for Kids: Devotions for Overcoming Fear and Finding Your Courage (Zonderkidz, Jan. 25, 2022), nationally known speaker and the bestselling author of Let’s All Be Brave and 100 Days to Brave, Annie F. Downs tailors her insight and encouragement for being brave to 8- to 12-year-olds, guiding them through 100 devotions that will help them overcome their fears, find courage, and discover the freedom and boldness that comes with being brave.

“We want to be brave because we want to be exactly who God made us to be, live the story He has for our lives, and not miss out on any good thing because of fear,” writes Downs. “This book is not about making you brave, it’s about showing you how brave you already are.”

100 Days to Brave for Kids helps kids see that they were always meant to be brave. From dealing with fears, anxiety, and difficult changes in life, Annie presents honest wisdom and humor giving kids the courage and confidence to embrace the plan God has for their lives.

Kids will discover:

• How to be the best version of themselves

• Their unique gifts
• How to create daily habits that will help them face any circumstance
