“Boldie Fox and the Three Dares” written by TL Clanton, illustrated by Annabell Lisa.

“Boldie Fox must complete three dares posted by the animal council to earn the right to choose a new name. But as each dare proves more difficult than the last, she finds herself in danger of losing her forest home forever. By asking for help and facing her fears, Boldie Fox learns the power of empathy and solidarity in action.” -TL Clanton
