A Buffalo Named Brave

The debut children’s picture book from renowned psychologist and author Dr Linda Papadopoulos.

The little buffalo has everything a young buffalo could wish for: family, friends, green grass and warm sunshine. Life is good, except for one thing … he’s terrified of storms. He’s tried hiding – and running away – but nothing helps, so the little buffalo turns to Elder Horn, the oldest and wisest of the buffalo, who has some surprising advice. Don’t run away from the storm … run towards it! And so little buffalo sets off on a BIG adventure: to find his courage and face his fear!

Meet an irresistible cast of animals in this brand-new series inspired by the natural world. Buffalo really do run into a storm!

Dr Linda’s trademark warmth and insight sparkle on every page, inviting young readers to discover their own resources of empathy, resilience and curiosity. An author’s note and talking points offer a springboard for parents and caregivers to discuss the themes of the book in more detail.

Perfect for fans of Rachel Bright and Jim Field’s The Lion Inside and series.
