BRAVE Books partnered with Zuby to write The Candy Calamity, a children's book that teaches kids how important it is to have good health and balance.
In every BRAVE Book, we partner with people of moral integrity, like Zuby, to teach complex Christian and Conservative values.
In Zuby's book The Candy Calamity, follow Bongo as he realizes how much his candy cravings affect him. Meanwhile, Rebel is so focused on fitness she forgets to eat, and both of them we're unable to defend the camel caravan from the pirates. Join team BRAVE as they learn that health is all about moderation and self-control, and teach your children this topic through the activities in the BRAVE Challenge at the back of the book.

"I love this book, and love having Brave books to give my grandchildren. They read them over and over!"
"BRAVE Books have become such a HUGE part of training our children in truth, virtue and character. Our sons were really looking forward to this book, and after reading it a few times, our just turned 4 year old is now talking about whether the food on his plate is healthy or not! It's amazing! We have now collected the whole first 4 sagas, and they are all worth investing in. The first way you know that it's a quality story is if your child comes back to it again and again, and it never gets old to them. And that is exactly what happens with these books. These are the first books our sons choose when it's story time, they act them out, talk about the characters, look at their maps, and do the high-quality puzzles every single day. That's when you know that the books have become an integral part of helping you in these most important early years of child rearing. It is the small moments, taken together, that make up a childhood, and moments of reading and growing and playing together with the BRAVE characters are truly life-molding. Don't buy your kids or grandkids more junk that will get lost in the toy box - invest in their character instead with these books."
"A fun way to get kids to think about healthy food choices. My kids especially love the activities at the end of the book."
"Awesome books"
"Our 2 boys love all the books. They are great quality and they enjoy the activities that come with them."
"Enjoyed reading to grands"
"LOVE this book! Not only is it beautifully illustrated (our favorite Brave illustrator), so creatively written (we love a good rhyme), but it brings up a topic that MOST health-centered children's books do not. The topic of not eating ENOUGH. It is mostly centered around the issues that come with over-indulging in sweets, as well as rest/passivity, but it includes the oh-so-important information to these sweet kiddos that fueling your body adequately is as important as not over-indulging. It talks about balance. Absolutely loved it, highly recommend!"
"This is a great series. My grandson will love it."
"We absolutely love this book series has become a family favorite and Dave pulls them out all the time for bedtime reading. Thank you so much for writing a great story with positive lessons for life."
"Self control is a huge topic that needs to be discussed, and this book made it easy to talk about!"
