Inhaltsangabe:

What do you do when the voice inside tells you you’re wrong? You can’t do that? Or you say something silly and the other kids laugh at you? Ellie and Alyssa have been best friends since pre-school. One chatty, one shy, one adventurous, the other considered, one Australian, one with Chinese heritage, both supportive and giving. It’s easy together. Then they change schools. They have to rely on themselves. It’s hard. Ellie’s lost her heart. There’s her little sister and her busy working parents to deal with at home. She feels unsure about herself. Alyssa is going from lesson to activity to lesson. She does what she’s told, afraid to step out. One day, Ellie’s had enough. She wanders off during a museum visit and discovers a mythical golden Ayrebird exhibit. The myth claims that if you see an Ayrebird, it brings you luck! Perhaps if the girls can find the bird, they can find Ellie’s heart. They devise a plan. Armed with their backpacks, they set out on a camping trip in search of the Ayrebird. They encounter obstacles, setbacks and frightening creatures within the beauty of the Australian bushland. Being Brave is a novel and personal development guide for girls with themes on self-esteem and resilience.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Authors: Sema Musson and Hester Leung Sema and Hester live with their families in neighbouring suburbs of Sydney. With their life and work experiences, Sema and Hester know that developing a personal tool kit helps to provide support in whatever girls choose to do in their lives. When Sema is not writing, she leads a team of professionals improving governance and conduct in a leading financial services organisation. She is the deputy chair and director of one of Australia’s largest not-for-profit providers of childcare and early education services. Sema is also an executive coach on ethics. As for Hester, previously a corporate and financial services lawyer, she is now working on developing disability and social housing. Hester is also on the governing body of a women and children’s shelter located in south-east Sydney. Sema and Hester are both passionate about their daughters growing up to be strong, confident and courageous women, and this influences their story-telling. If Sema and Hester were at the same pre-school (impossible because Sema was born in Western Australia and Hester in Hong Kong), they would definitely have begun their friendship then. Luckily for them, their daughters did attend the same pre-school and became the best of friends. That’s how this book and the ideas behind it all started.
