Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is no stranger to bravery in the face of bullies. In this adaptation of her New York Times bestselling How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith, Bishop Budde and acclaimed novelist Bryan Bliss share lessons in how to learn to be brave in life’s hardest moments. The decisive moments in life—even in the life of a young person—are those pivot points when we’re called on to push past our fears and act courageously in the face of injustice and bullying. In How We Learn to Be Brave , Bishop Mariann Budde shows readers examples of how to respond even in the toughest times. Bravery is not a singular occurrence; it’s a journey that we can choose to undertake every day and it begins when we're young. Budde explores the range of decisive moments people of all ages encounter, from the most visible and dramatic (the decision to go), to the internal and personal (the decision to stay), to brave choices made with an eye toward the future (the decision to start), those born of suffering (the decision to accept that which we did not choose), and those that come as surprises (the decision to step up to the plate). Drawing on examples relevant to young readers ranging from Harry Potter to Martin Luther King Jr., she weaves together personal experiences with stories from scripture, history, and pop culture of how adults and kids throughout history have faced these moments and heeded the call to be brave in challenging times.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9798217113828","publication_date":"20251021","publisher":"Penguin Young Readers Group","slug":"we-can-be-brave","subtitle":"How We Learn to Be Brave in Life's Decisive Moments","title":"We Can Be Brave"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JNF049180","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Biography","score":0.7487,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN051250","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Values & Virtues for Teens","score":0.7412,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL012170","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Memoirs","score":0.7401,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JNF049180","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Biography","score":0.7487,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN051250","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Values & Virtues for Teens","score":0.7412,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL012170","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Memoirs","score":0.7401,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JNF049080","confidence_band":"high","label":"Christianity for Kids","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JNF053200","confidence_band":"high","label":"Values & Virtues","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JNF053220","confidence_band":"high","label":"Bullying","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Christian Biography","score":0.7487,"slug":"christian-biography"},{"label":"Values & Virtues for Teens","score":0.7412,"slug":"values-virtues-for-teens"},{"label":"Christian Memoirs","score":0.7401,"slug":"christian-memoirs"}],"reader_fit":["Young readers looking for guidance on facing fear, bullying, and injustice"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Alexi Pappas"],"book_id":"9780593562772","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593562772.jpg?v=aed30249f9f4971a","score":0.6859,"title":"Bravey (adapted for Young Readers)","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593562772"},{"authors":["Ann Voskamp"],"book_id":"9781496446541","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781496446541.jpg?v=2bc29d70f7a62cb8","score":0.6799,"title":"Your Brave Song","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781496446541"},{"authors":["Emily Wilson Hussem"],"book_id":"9781594718250","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781594718250.jpg?v=8ffe585dc0d695cf","score":0.6773,"title":"Go Bravely","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781594718250"},{"authors":["Lindsey Stoddard"],"book_id":"9780062878120","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062878120.jpg?v=b4634faf6a7cee15","score":0.6729,"title":"Brave Like That","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062878120"},{"authors":["Brené Brown"],"book_id":"9781592408412","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781592408412.jpg?v=946bb836e563af38","score":0.6664,"title":"Daring Greatly","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781592408412"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books for 12 year old boys"],"label":"Year","score":0.8411,"slug":"year"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books for 12 year old girls"],"label":"Girls","score":0.4323,"slug":"girls"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books for 12 year old boys"],"label":"Boys","score":0.4174,"slug":"boys"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:kindness books for children"],"label":"Children","score":0.2129,"slug":"children"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Courage in difficult moments, Responding to bullying and injustice, Choosing how to face change.","Themes: Year, Girls, Boys.","Reading lane: Christian Biography and Values & Virtues for Teens."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.91,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Young readers looking for guidance on facing fear, bullying, and injustice"],"themes":["Courage in difficult moments","Responding to bullying and injustice","Choosing how to face change"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":62,"goodreads_reviews_count":6,"quality_score":0.8523}}
