What if the items hanging in your closet come alive to bring you on a magical fashion adventure? Step into a world where fashion comes to life with The Brave Jacket. A little jacket takes you on a big feelings-based journey to face life’s varied emotions and the world head on – in style.

This growth mindset story shows young readers the power of fashion design and creativity from the perspective of the items hanging in the closet. When feelings become overwhelming and uncertainty is all around, inspiration strikes – a dress takes you on a style adventure.

The social emotional adventure teaches readers the art of calming down with creativity to cope with big feelings. The sharp rhyming text incorporates fashion vocabulary to introduce industry terminology in a developmentally appropriate way.

The vivid illustrations are intentionally abstract to spark imagination and inspire artistic energy. The visual cues direct the reader to visualize design interpretations within the mind’s eye.

Fashion magic is on every page.
