Alfie the Brave

Recommended for ages 0+.

A delightful picture book about a dog called Alfie who longs to be bold and brave like other dogs. From Australian of the Year Dr Richard ‘Harry’ Harris, a key member of the cave-diving team who rescued the Wild Boar soccer team in Thailand.

A charming picture book about how bravery doesn’t always come naturally, from Dr Richard ‘Harry’ Harris, a key member of the international cave-diving group who rescued the Wild Boar soccer team in Thailand. Illustrated by the talented Simon Howe, who perfectly captures the emotional ups and downs of the adorable and expressive Alfie.

Alfie was a fine-looking dog. His coat was sleek and shiny like an otter. His muscles stood out under his skin. He was the son of champions.

But Alfie didn’t feel like a champion. Alfie was scared of . . . everything!

Could Alfie ever be bold and brave like other dogs?
