A Buffalo Named Brave

The debut children’s picture book from renowned psychologist and author Dr Linda Papadopoulos.

The little buffalo has everything a young buffalo could wish for: family, friends, green grass and warm sunshine. Life is good, except for one thing … he’s terrified of storms.

He’s tried hiding – and running away – but nothing helps, so the little buffalo turns to Elder Horn, the oldest and wisest of the buffalo, who has some surprising advice. Don’t run away from the storm … run towards it!

And so little buffalo sets off on a BIG adventure: to find his courage and face his fear!
