Katie Honors is a brave kid. She tries not to be afraid throughout the various activities she tries each day. But she has a secret, sometimes she is not brave. Sometimes her emotions get the better of her and she goes kaploom. Her mother reassures her that she can be brave and sad or even brave and scared. 

This is a great story to teach children that sometimes our emotions are too big to hold in and it is ok to let them out. The story will remind children that even when our emotions are hard to handle, in time things will feel better again. The illustrations are great at conveying Katie's different emotions.
