About the Book

Written by Kimberly Grewe and illustrated by Tibor Polgar, Benny the Brave is a journey towards independence for young James.

The story covers each day of the week in James' search for his beloved lion and chronicles how he learns to cope without relying on his friend every step of the way. This story is good for those who have security blankets, good luck charms or even favorite things that are difficult to part with.

The book has an easy to follow format. Each day of the week starts with alliteration and is ideal for students to make connections to their own lives and inspire their own writing endeavors.
