But the question is who is the bravest hero of all? The one who is fearless or the one who overcomes his fears? This storybook is a gentle encouragement to young readers. Sometimes it’s good to be a bit braver than you think can be. In this sequel universal themes of courage, self-knowledge, overcoming fears, and standing up for others with sympathetic main animal characters and new acquaintances are brought to life in classic but quirly illustrations. The detailed artwork is a beautiful visual invite to the world of Van Gogh and Wes Andersen films, both inspirations reflected in the illustration.
