Synopsis:

It's a brand-new day, and a young girl decides to take on the world like a brave explorer heading off on an epic fairytale quest. From home to school and back again, our hero conquers the Mountain of Knowledge (the library), forges new bridges (friendships), and leads the victorious charge home on her steed (the school bus).

This story is a powerful declaration about courage, confidence, kindness, and finding the extraordinary in everyday moments. 

Our Thoughts:

This little girl begins her day with the affirmation that she will be fierce and continues that positive state of mind throughout her day as she conquers the trials set before her.

I Will Be Fierce is an inspiring and beautifully illustrated picture book about starting your day out right, having a positive mindset, conquering your fears, being yourself, standing up for others, and more. Every page is both a story and a positive message. This book will have you ready to be fierce and take on your own day.

My daughter and I loved the combination of adventurous fairy tale prose with the illustrated acts of simply getting ready for and going to school. She dons her armor (a rainbow sweater) and fills her treasure chest (a backpack) and goes forth into the world to face the monsters of the day (big kids and the noisy bus). 

I especially love that the little girl charted her own course straight to the library as soon as she got to school to 'climb the Mountain of Knowledge' and 'trick the Guardian of Wisdom into revealing her secrets to solve the mysteries of the unknown'.
