Kaia & the Rainbow Cape
One complete keepsake story, illustrated on every spread: Kaia climbs the steps of the big yellow bus with her butterflies, shares the swing and one yellow block, takes three brave bites, befriends a teeny spider named Webster and one lonely pretend dragon, and — when the hallway goes long and dark — remembers that brave is just one more step. The story closes with a Cuddle-Up Corner, gentle questions to talk about together, and one tiny real-world challenge to try — the warm read-aloud that helps the lesson settle in, night after night.
“Being brave doesn't mean you're not scared — it means you go anyway.”
Kaia is 4 in this story. A bright, big-hearted Black girl with rainbow stripes and a brave streak a mile wide. When you make it yours, the hero becomes your child — same name, same face, same big heart — illustrated to look just like them on every single page.
