[ 책 소개 ]

어린이 그림책의 Classic이 된 Lyle Lyle Crocodile, Ira Sleeps Over, The House on East 88th Street룰 비롯해서 40여편의 베스트셀러 그림책을 만든 Bernard Waber가 어린 아이들에게 진정한 용기의 의미가 무엇인지 깨닫게 해주는 책입니다.

용기는 우주탐험가가 되거나 높은 산에 오르는 것 같이 거창한 것만이 아니라 우리 주변이나 일상생활에서도 얼마든지 실천할 수 있는 것입니다.

보조바퀴 없이 자전거를 타는 것에 도전하는 것도 용기고,
맛있는 캔디바 2개 중에서 1개를 나중을 위해 먹지 않고 남기는 것,
어린 동생이 괴롭힘을 당하지 않도록 지켜주는 것,
친구와 다툰 후에 먼저 화해하는 것,
먹기 싫은 야채를 찡그리지 않고 맛을 보는 것,
나쁜 습관을 깨트리는 것,
밤 중에 불 켜지 않고 잠을 자는 것,
좋나하는 이성 친구에게 카드를 보내는 것,
질투심이나 시기심을 억누를 수 있는 것,
헤어스타일을 스스로 결정할 수 있는 것,
하기 싫은 것을 다시 해볼 수 있는 것,
실패에 좌절하지 않고 다시 하는 것,
자신의 꿈을 쉽게 포기하지 않는 것 등등등...

용기는 본질적으로 자신을 이기고, 새로운 것에 도전하며, 남을 배려하는 것입니다...

Book Description
There are many kinds of courage. Big acts of courage and the everyday kinds that normal, ordinary people exhibit all the time, like “being the first to make up after an argument” or “going to bed without a night-light.” Bernard Waber explores the many varied kinds of courage and celebrates the moments, big and small, that bring out the hero in each of us. Now a lap board book.


Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
In this poignant yet entertaining volume, versatile author and artist Waber (The Mouse That Snored) takes a look at the various ways in which kids, the occasional grown-up and one endearing canine display bravery. "There are many kinds of courage," the narrative begins. "Awesome kinds" appears on a spread of trapeze artists; "everyday kinds" depicts a boy who summons the confidence to jump off a high dive. Minimal yet artfully crafted text and sprightly art reveal some gutsy acts that all youngsters will identify with: taking that first bike ride without training wheels, explaining the rip in a brand-new pair of pants. The author's observations range from lighthearted ("Courage is deliberately stepping on sidewalk cracks") to those worthy of reflection ("Courage is being the first to make up after an argument"). Waber's wit infuses many of the pages, including one from a dog's viewpoint: a "Beware of Dog" sign adorns the front lawn of a house while, inside, a pooch quakes listening to eerie sounds "Courage is it's your job to check out the night noises in the house." On the affecting, timely penultimate spread, scenes of firefighters and a police officer on the job ("Courage is being a firefighter, or a police officer") appear opposite the image of a mother and two children watching a plane take off ("Courage is sometimes having to say goodbye"). Uncovering an array of triumphs and fears, this is a natural read-aloud likely to spark valuable adult-child dialogue and to help youngsters conquer their own fears.


School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-Focusing on a variety of scenarios, from the serious ("Courage is being the first to make up after an argument") to the more lighthearted ("Courage is tasting the vegetable before making a face"), Waber introduces children to the many ways to define this character trait. One or two statements appear on each page, accompanied by a whimsical pen-and-ink and watercolor illustration that offers an amusing interpretation of the captionlike text. Some examples seem to fit attributes other than courage more precisely ("Courage is two candy bars and saving one for tomorrow"), but children will certainly relate to most of them. A good read-aloud to spark conversation about what courage is and isn't, and the many forms it takes.


Booklist
Veteran author-illustrator Waber offers a simple book with a complex message, illustrated with his familiar combination of crayon-colored sweetness and agitated line. The statement, "There are many kinds of courage," begins the book; the illustration shows a skater in full extension in the air, her head and arms held high. "Everyday kinds" of courage are illustrated by a small boy hesitating and then diving off the board into a pool, and courage is also "nobody better pick on your little brother." Boys and girls and even dogs in this book practice the virtue: "Courage is breaking bad habits" shows a dog trying to refrain from attacking a very agitated cat. Some of the displays of courage stretch the concept--saving a candy bar for the morrow or not peeking to see whodunit at the end of a mystery--but mostly Waber succeeds in illustrating an abstraction in concrete ways that will resonate with children. Firefighters and police officers and the courage to say good-bye end the book: "Courage is what we give to each other."
