Written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes the nationally bestselling and celebrated creator of Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse Owen and Kitten's First Full Moon Shelia Rae the Brave is a warm humorous and loving story of sibling sympathy and support. Just because Sheila Rae is older she doesn't always know better! "I am very brave " Sheila Rae said patting herself on the back. She wasn't afraid of anything—not thunder not lightning not the big black dog at the end of the block. And when she wanted to walk home a new way and Louise wouldn't she called her sister a scaredy-cat and set out alone. But all the bravado in the world failed to help when Sheila Rae found herself lost. Luckily her sister was not far behind. "Children will love it."—School Library Journal Supports the Common Core State Standards
