From the creators of the internationally bestselling Giraffes Can't Dance comes a life-affirming new story about a little bear who learns what it really means to find your inner brave and have the confidence to be yourself.

Dave, the grizzly bear, is in awe of his big brother Clarence. He's big, brave, and strong, all the things that Dave thinks a grizzly bear should be. How Dave wishes he could be more like Clarence until, one day, Dave discovers that bravery comes in different guises and that this grizzly bear doesn't need to be more Clarence, he needs to be more Dave!

A celebration of individuality, self-acceptance and having the courage to stand out — the perfect book for encouraging all little ones to take pride in being themselves and showing them that they don't have to be like anyone else, not even their older brothers or sisters.

Giraffes Can't Dance is a beloved favourite that has found its way into the hearts, and onto the bookshelves, of a whole generation of children. With positive messages about self-esteem, the multi-million bestseller is a contemporary classic.
