Brave Like Fireweed

With poetic language and stunning visual storytelling, debut creator Jesse White encourages young readers to explore the interconnectedness between nature and human beings. This book is perfect for fans of Outside In and The Wonderful Things You Will Be.

The journey begins in a young girl's bedroom, the night before a big performance. Excited but nervous, she dreams her way through North American flora and discovers the resilient, powerful, and radiant nature of plants and builds her confidence. Using a blend of social-emotional learning concepts and a poetic interpretation of the natural world, White showcases the complexities of nature alongside her stylistic and emotive art, encouraging readers to explore their feelings and emotions—no matter how big or small.
