The Bird and the Bison

Courage is a vital skill for growing up and tackling life's challenges, but how do we help children develop their courage? We start by presenting the concept in a relatable way and encouraging thoughtful reflection.

The Bird and the Bison is about a little bird afraid to take his first flight. Through the inspiring tale of the bison, who bravely face fierce storms on the vast, open grasslands, the little bird learns the value of courage and why it is important. The book is designed for pre-K through elementary school-aged children. Still, its timeless message will resonate with readers of all ages.

To support parents and teachers, the story is followed by a discussion about courage and an exercise called "Tracks of Courage," designed to inspire meaningful conversations about bravery and doing what's right, even when it's hard.
