About
At Brave Face Kids, our goal is to encourage young children to be brave and kind through fun stories of kids overcoming unique challenges. We hope our children's books will give parents the conversation tools they need to help discuss tough topics and raise great kids.
Brave Face Kids was born when owner and author, Allie Ekblad, wrote her first book, Ava The Brava about her two eldest children. When, facing the daunting task of explaining his sister's cleft surgeries to her then-two-year-old son, Jace, Allie struggled to find helpful resources. Many late nights awake feeding her infant daughter, Ava, resulted in this light but thoughtful rhyming children's book that her kids read over and over. Jace and Ava embraced it’s message, supporting each other in times of challenge and showing strength and positivity. Allie saw the power in storytelling. And thus, Brave Face Kids was born, with the hope of sharing many more brave stories soon.
