BRAVE BOOKS

Books that shape the future start with brave authors making an impact today. Brave Books is honored to partner with people like Good Simple Living who back up their character-shaping stories with demonstrations of true character.

We love reading letters from Brave kids and seeing the impact our authors and their stories are having on the next generation!

Another protest and another line crossed by a mob that’s awarded itself the moral high ground to justify behavior it was already itching to unleash. If we don't teach our kids what goodness and courage look like - people like this will.

Courage looks like not controlling outcomes. Parents who want brave kids need to show them the way.

@BraveBooksUS Who actually wrote the words?

Many families have asked how they can read "Elephants Are Not Birds" for themselves, to judge the story on its own merits. Rather than debate it online, we’re putting it directly in parents’ hands. For a limited time, the digital edition is free, including the Brave Challenge with games and activities that reinforce the lesson. Read it and decide for yourself. Link in bio.

@BraveBooksUS Please answer the question. Who ACTUALLY WROTE the book?

@BraveBooksUS I am so confused, did she not actually write the book? You put out a statement recently saying her name was going to be omitted from the book in future pubs, so I am wondering.

@OHPatriotWoman That is correct - and because we stand behind the message of the book, right now especially, we want families to be able to enjoy it for free.

@BraveBooksUS I hope by removing her name she is no longer receiving any royalties or earning from this book…

The appeal of “Good Inside” parenting seems to be the idea of shame reduction, and using misbehavior as an opportunity for connection and understanding - which has some merit. Parents should of course try to understand the underlying causes rather than just behavior modification, and loss of connection should never be a tool that parents wield. All good outcomes - but the underlying premise that people are inherently good and that bad choices are a result of situations (that need to be understood) and unregulated emotions (that need to be addressed and skills developed), has the unfortunate quality of contradicting thousands of years of theological thought - not to mention the historical record. I’m curious how many of these same Christian parents experience the Gospel as: “Jesus came to give bad people righteous standing,” versus “Jesus came to make sad and lonely people feel ‘good inside’.”

I’m shocked the amount of allegedly Christian parents who don’t believe their children are sinners

@TheLaurenChen Love when we hear this - thanks for sharing, Lauren!

@BraveBooksUS It's still my eldest's favorite book in the series, it has a timeless message that also applies to a lot more topics than just the trans issue. Glad you're keeping it available!

a public statement regarding Ashley St. Clair

@CryptoPulse9 If only we could find an author… any suggestions?

waiting and ready to order the follow up, "Elephants Are Birds Now"

@RealAngelaMc We’re honored to have your support in our shared cause of raising up a liberty loving generation of young Americans!

@BraveBooksUS The book is great. Keep doing good work.

@OANN @OANN see our recent post for an update regarding Ashley St. Clair's book with Brave.

@grok @Thewhitecrusad3 @Grok - are you interested in a book deal?

@Thewhitecrusad3 No, elephants are not birds. Elephants are large mammals in the order Proboscidea, while birds belong to the class Aves. If this is about the book or a metaphor, context matters—what's your take?

@JKash000 @dom_lucre Reality.

@dom_lucre Then who will be the author of the book? No one?

🔥🚨BREAKING: Ashley St. Clair just announced she is making amends with the LGBTQ+ community by removing her name as the author of Elephants Are Not Birds effective immediately. St. Clair: In effort to make amends + in best interest of all parties, my name will be removed as author of Elephants Are Not Birds effective immediately. This comes after Musk stated: "I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.”

@ScottMGreer We’re open to chat.

But who will now write Birds Are Not Elephants?

The idea of “goodness” has become a tricky one in parenting circles. Maybe because it carries moral weight at a time when morality feels up for grabs, something each person is expected to figure out on their own. But when we give up a shared sense of what’s good and what’s bad, kids don’t become freer. They become confused, unsure of what they’re even aiming for. As parents ourselves, we want to raise good kids. Not just well-behaved kids. Not just happy, successful, or confident kids. And definitely not perfect kids. To do that, we have to start by giving our children clarity about what’s truly good, true, and worth aiming at.

Big media companies spend billions of dollars to overcome the plain truth: Parents are the culture makers. It’s time that we take back our role, and at Brave - we’re committed to giving you the tools to shape your children into the strong men and women of character that you want them to be. #parenting #characterformation #neverlosefaith #bravecore
