to be brave and try new things.

When a bright golden chance flies by, it might be a little scary to reach out and catch it,
but you have to be brave.
It really can.
Sometimes we get nervous about failing or looking silly, so we let opportunities pass
us by.
But this book shows us that taking a chance, even when you're afraid, can lead to the
most amazing adventures.
Let's dive in!
Let's get our ears on.
I've got mine ready!
Three, two, one!
Let's read!
