Brave Enough to Stand

On the first day at Hayburg Elementary, a quiet new student arrives
from the mountains.

Fuzz hopes to make friends in his new town of Henry’s Crossing. But the playground already seems to belong to Silas and his jittery sidekick Kenny. Silas stomps, snorts, and makes sure everyone knows the kickball field is his. Fuzz feels small and alone — until a wise friend reminds him of an old story about a shepherd boy named David who faced a giant named Goliath.

When the moment comes, Fuzz must decide: will he stay quiet like everyone else… or will he stand?

“Brave Enough to Stand” is a heartwarming story about bravery, kindness, and the power of standing up for what is right — even when you feel small. Perfect for young readers, this uplifting tale reminds children that true strength comes from faith, courage, and a heart willing to stand tall… even in a straw hat.
