Today, we continue the countdown to the release of my upcoming picture book, BRAVER THAN BRAVE, illustrated by Eunji Jungand published by Capstone Editions, a Capstone Imprint. I present Days 8-10 of 26 Days of Facing the Chicken Exit!

DAY 8: Picture Book Character 

Diante in BRAVE IN THE WATER does (spoiler alert!) finally put his face in the water instead of running away.

A cartoon of the top half of a head of a dark-skinned boy with black hair peeks into a photograph of a non-cartoon doorway with a rollercoaster in the background. Above the doorway is a sign that says "Chicken Exit."


DAY 9: Casey Lyall, author of A SPOONFUL OF FROGS 

“My chicken exit story is that I was in a haunted house with three of my friends and we were all hanging onto each other so tight none of us could even make it to escape through the chicken exit. So I guess sometimes you need your friends to help you be brave. 😄”

A white woman in glasses peeks in from the bottome with only her eyes and nose showing. She stands in a doorway with a rollercoaster in the background. Above the doorway is a sign that says "Chicken Exit."

 

DAY 10: Picture Book Character 

Shailey, from HELP WANTED: MUST LOVE BOOKS, faced down her chicken exit by standing up for herself to find a new bedtime storyteller. ~by Janet Sumner Johnson & illustrated by Courtney Dawson

A cartoon of a dark-skinned girl with dark curly hair in a bun holds an orange book and stands in a photograph of a non-cartoon doorway with a rollercoaster in the background. Above the doorway is a sign that says "Chicken Exit."
