Do you want to become a Brave-Man? Good. Let's begin.
The cape wearing, invincible Brave-Man, fully loaded with bravery, smashes a dinosaur far bigger than himself with a single punch. After watching the movie, the protagonist of the story falls in love with Brave-Man, and wants to become a Brave-Man himself. With the knowledge that he can become Brave-Man by performing 10 feats of bravery, he begins his journey. However, it is no easy task to accomplish. He has to overcome his desire to sleep, stop playing games when he reaches the fun part, and say no to things he does not like. He needs bravery to get up and run again after falling, reach out to a friend first after fighting, and go to the dentist for treatment. In the process of achieving these feats of bravery, there are many difficulties on the path. Yielding when he does not want to and taking on challenges that are certain to fail are things that will make him want to quit. As expected, performing 10 feats of bravery is no easy task. However, after repeated failures and overcoming these failures with effort and patience, the protagonist shows the path to becoming a Brave-Man. While it is difficult from time to time, this book gives readers encouragement that anyone can become a Brave-Man.
The story of the true essence of bravery and how to be a brave person
Bravery is neither grandiose nor difficult. This book tells the reader that it is around us at all times, and it has greater value when practiced. It also teaches the reader the positive outcomes and changes that are produced from the choices made with bravery. Children face new events everyday. Things they have never tried, things they fear of failing, and things that don't progress well even with a lot of effort. All of these require bravery. From the story of the protagonist, children will be able to not only learn ""bravery,"" which feels like a distant concept but also gain ""confidence"" through practicing ""bravery."""
