Meet Briony. Briony has always wanted to be a firefighter - they seem so brave! Firefighters stay calm during really difficult circumstances, and train to be able to rescue people in life-threatening situations.

How do firefighters get to be so courageous? Are they born with that kind of courage? Or is it developed through their training? What is moral courage, and are there other kinds of courage? Where do they come from?

The ideal conversation starter for children aged 7+, this illustrated guide will open discussion as to what courage means, the different types of courage, and how to be courageous rather than rash.
