As a parent who reads a lot of children's books, I have to say, Brave Books are definitely some of my favorite!
This one in particular is about standing by truth. I have yet to read all the Brave Books, but out of the 13 I've read, this one is my favorite so far.
Valor the Tiger is attending an academy where he's learning to be a warrior. His dream is to become the next Top Commander. The students there know him as Arthur's son, the Top Commander who retired, but who mentors a lot of the warriors at the academy. Many of them don't know that Valor's biological father is Black Heart, an enemy of Freedom Island.
At a meeting, one of the leaders of the school says they must find Black Heart's son and force him to leave the academy, as he could join forces with Black Heart if chosen to be Top Commander. When Valor is chosen to be the next Top Commander as he's always dreamed, he chooses to tell the truth about his past and who his father really is. He watches as they give the position away to someone else.
I love how this shows him giving up his dream and standing by the principles he had been taught growing up.
This books teaches children to stand up for truth, even when it's hard.
Other Brave Books I've read talk about things such as our constitutional rights and help explain concepts that may normally be hard for children to understand.
