Teaching Children about Courage (Ometz Lev)

A Shaboom! Discussion Guide for 4-7 year olds and their parents

Scaredy spark Gabi must cross a narrow bridge to play on the beckoning bouncy cloud. During the family campout in a stormy back yard, Mama Plony confronts a clanky robot from outer space.  They both learn that “Courage isn’t about not being afraid. It's about doing things even though we’re afraid.”
