Brave the Beaver Has the Worry Warts is a children's picture book written by Misty Black and illustrated by Ana Rankovic. The third book in the Punk and Friends series, Brave the Beaver is a young beaver living in a wonderful lodge next to a beautiful pond. Brave the Beaver's parents deliver news that the time has come for them to move to a new home but Brave is unhappy. Pretty soon Brave is not only worried about all of what he will leave behind but is also filled with doubts about what may await him at a new home and school. Worry warts begin to pop up all over him with each worry he has. On Brave's first day of school, he sees Tim the Turtle sitting all alone and ponders sitting with him. At recess, Clutz the Cat falls into the water during playtime and Brave quickly rescues him from drowning. By the end of his first day, Brave the Beaver has many friends and is looking forward to each upcoming adventure with every one of them.

Brave the Beaver Has the Worry Warts is one of those treasured tales which leaves me smiling at the end of the tale. Misty Black and Ana Rankovic did such a wonderful job in describing the uncertainties everyone feels when facing big changes such as moving to a new home and school (or even a new job). Although the mind becomes plagued with doubts of all the bad things which COULD happen, this particular story shows that keeping an open mind and learning to embrace what is to come actually helps make a scary experience into one to savor. I look forward to reading more books in the Punk & Friends series and recommend Brave the Beaver Has the Worry Warts to children under the age of 12 years so that they can see how thinking the very worst of the future and discovering some of the very best things along the way is not so scary after all.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Misty Black is an internationally bestselling and award-winning author of children's books. When she's not busy crafting meaningful stories that inspire and delight children worldwide, you'll find her exploring her faith, spending time with her family, or engaging in a friendly competition over her favorite board games. She's only a bit competitive, or so she says (wink).

Her passion for cooking runs deep, as she learned the importance of a home-cooked meal from her mother at a young age. And while she can brew up a mean pot of soup, she'd be the first to admit that her singing voice leaves much to be desired. She loves the great outdoors and camping in the mountains. However, she doesn't get to go as much as she'd like. But that doesn't stop her from seeking adventure in other ways, mainly through reading and writing.

Her ultimate goal is to inspire a love for reading in every child so they, too, can embark on thrilling adventures without ever leaving the comfort of their own minds. If you're looking for a family-oriented author with a passion for inspiring young minds and a willingness to sing off-key while whipping up a cheesy lasagna, look no further!

This is such a wonderful book! No matter if you have moved recently and your kid needs to make new friends, change schools, or joins a new sports team - there are so many reasons why kids can get anxious and worried. This wonderful book can help them to deal with the situation as it shows that such feelings are normal and how to overcome anxiety. The mantra little Brave says when he gets worried is so cute and easy to learn. It's a wonderful story with beautiful illustrations, I highly recommend it!

The media could not be loaded.

I've read many of Misty Black's books. It's so fun to get to know the characters like Punk the Skunk and Quilliam the Porcupine. Her newest book, "Brave the Beaver Has the Worry Warts" does not disappoint. From reading her books, you can tell this author is a thoughtful, kind, and loving human being who writes from her heart wanting to touch the reader (of any age). At this crazy time during the COVID-19 pandemic, this book helping deal with anxiety and stress management is especially relevant. This is the PERFECT book to get for all the youngsters in your life who are getting ready to go back to school. Don't forget to read the extra materials as there is a page at the end with additional ways of coping and dealing with these issues. Thank you to this author who lovingly tackles these hard subjects and leaves the reader refreshed and encouraged.

So cute! Love the chant. The sooner kids learn the concept of 'mind over matter' the better. Deep breaths work wonders for the worry warts. "Breathe in courage, breathe out fear!"

Enabling and Powerful!

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020

The author addresses in a clear and honest way, what many kids would feel moving to a new school. I LOVE the little rhyme that encourages you to 'breathe in courage, breathe out fear'! The situations that Brave finds himself in are wonderful discussion points to have with the children in your life. They will help them understand that they are not alone in their feelings. Plus, there are actionable steps that one can take that will help. I love the underlying constant concept that children can have power to overcome their struggles. This enabling power is so important for kids to understand and the author does a marvelous job teaching it. The whole series is AWESOME!!

Good Book for a 5-Year-Old

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

My 5-year-old loves this book and had me read it to her twice in a row when she first got it. Her only disappointment was the lack of stickers. She first thought the pages covered with little characters were covered with stickers and then said sadly, “I wish these were stickers!” But the story is good and the illustrations are so cute that she asked me to buy her the other books in the series.

My daughter loved this story. We all have the case of the worry warts from time to time, but using techniques to help - like Brave the Beaver is a great teaching tool. This story has a beautiful rhyme that children can use during their moments of worry. The illustrations are adorable too.

I like the illustrations and characters depicted in this series of children’s books. The books provide food for thought for young children and can promote conversation between kids, their parents, teachers or other loved ones and caregivers.
The rhyming chants are appealing to children while empowering them with good, practical strategies to try when angry, worried or anxious,etc.
These books are meant to be read to young children.

Another gorgeous, positive book in this series. Learning to fight your worries away, and have the confidence to be brave and push yourself is really important. The repeated chorus is great for encouraging this, and this is idea is reinforced by the discussion pages at the end of the book. The characters in this series are just the cutest.
