Maple the Brave

A story about facing your fears and finding your strengths


Maple lives in a tree house in the woods. She’s scared of most things, especially the animals who live below. But one day, when she bravely steps out of her comfort zone, she finds that the animals are really quite kind. With their help, she awakens a sense of bravery she never knew she had.

This is a gentle, Jungle Book-like adventure, where our doll-like heroine ultimately returns to her tree house stronger, more confident, and with a whole forest of friends.

“The watercolour illustrations have an unrefined aesthetic that adds to the homespun, off-grid atmosphere of Maple's world...It's a sweet message for our young daughters to experience.”
