What is a daredevil?
A person with no fear? A stunt performer? A racer? A jumper? A dreamer standing at the edge of possibility?
The Big Questions: What Is A Daredevil? is a thrilling children’s nonfiction picture book about courage, fear, stunts, speed, preparation, teamwork, safety, extreme sports, and the powerful difference between bravery and recklessness.
Created for curious readers aged 5–12, this premium Big Questions book takes children into the breathtaking world of daredevils: roaring motorbikes, impossible ramps, racing planes, giant waves, white-water rivers, movie stunts, and jumps from near space. But this is not a book that tells children to chase danger. It is a book that helps them understand why real courage must travel with wisdom.
Hi, my name is Ethan Solace—an interdisciplinary psychologist and a dad. Picture books are often the first place children encounter the wider world, but we don’t always stop to think about who wrote them, or the lasting impression they leave.
I wrote The Big Questions series to be premium, exciting, child-friendly, and based on how children actually engage, not talking down to them, but exploring with them. These books are designed to help children meet big ideas through wonder, story, emotional intelligence, and clear understanding.
In What Is A Daredevil?, children discover that the most breathtaking moments are rarely careless. Behind the jump, the dive, the race, the turn, and the stunt are hours of practice, careful planning, safety checks, expert teams, weather reports, equipment, science, and the courage to say, “Not today,” when the risk is not right.
This book gently shows children that fear is not failure. Fear can be useful. It can tell us to pay attention, ask questions, check the plan, listen to the team, and respect what could go wrong. A reckless person rushes toward danger. A true daredevil studies it, prepares for it, and treats it with care.
Inside, children will explore:
- What a daredevil really is
- Why fear can be part of courage
- How practice, patience, and preparation come before glory
- Why motorbike jumps, stunt cars, ramps, engines, and timing need skill and control
- How racing planes and aerial daredevils turn science into spectacle
- What near-space jumps teach us about courage, teamwork, pressure suits, parachutes, and planning
- How surfers, cliff divers, and white-water rafters learn to respect water and nature
- Why movie stunts are built from trust, rehearsal, safety equipment, and expert teams
- The difference between being brave and being reckless
- Why sometimes the bravest choice is to stop, wait, and try another day
- How everyday courage can begin with a bike ride, a diving board, a stage, a new sport, or standing back up after a fall
Perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, homeschool learning, sports topics, STEM discussions, emotional learning, reluctant readers, action-loving children, and families who want exciting nonfiction with real meaning, this book turns daredevils into a powerful conversation about courage, responsibility, risk, and respect.
Written with warmth, clarity, and cinematic imagination, The Big Questions: What Is A Daredevil? captures the thrill of engines, waves, skies, ramps, and impossible-looking moments, while keeping the deeper message clear: courage is not the same as carelessness.
For every child who loves speed, stunts, machines, flight, water, adventure, or the feeling of trying something brave, this book offers an exciting and responsible way to explore the edge of possibility.
Because the greatest daredevils do not ignore fear.
They listen to it.
They learn from it.
They prepare.
And when the moment is right, they show the world what courage can do.
True courage travels with wisdom.
