BRAVE Books partnered with Julie Banderas to write A Monumental Mistake, a children's book that teaches kids how to respect elders.
In every BRAVE Book, we partner with people of moral integrity, like Julie Banderas, to teach complex Christian and Conservative values.
On the edge of Wiggamore woods, some cubs set out to play, unaware of what awaits them. It’s been many years since a brave young moose saved Wiggamore Woods. For some, his daring deeds have been forgotten, as has the danger he sealed up there—a danger that two friends won’t take seriously ... until it’s awakened. Join Fiona, Mobi, Arthur, and Cassius as they learn why respecting and honoring those who came before them is important. Then, go through the BRAVE Challenge at the end of the book to learn more about respecting history.

"We loved the story that showed the leaders as kids!"
"We loved this book! Such a valuable lesson to teach that we have to remember the events of history to be careful not to repeat actions that lead to destruction."
"Saw a clip by Julie Banderas, the author, discussing the concept of respect. Felt that she expressed the importance of respect being taught to our kids. I review the book after it arrived at my home and decided that my grandchildren could really benefit from this lesson. I recommend it to parents and grandparents of kids 5-10."
"It's a great story about respect and fighting together for the right reasons. Fun story. My child enjoyed it."
"A great story and message told in this book! Yay Freedom Island!"
"All Brave books are beautifully illustrated. "A Monumental Mistake" is no exception. Great story! Love how it inspires children to respect the heroes that risk and sacrifice much for their safety and freedoms. Both of my children love it!"
"We love all the brave books! Thank you for continuing to make family friendly books."
"Bought a one year subscription for my daughter and her four children. Asked her how the kids liked the books. They got their first shipment a couple weeks ago. She said the kids wanted her to read all the books to them in one night! Sounds like five stars to me! Thx Brave Books. PJM"
