Some days, Mia's skin feels like it's full of sleeping dragons.

Nine-year-old Mia is good at lots of things: spelling tests, drawing cats with enormous eyes, and making her best friend Ava laugh at exactly the wrong moment. But she's also very good at hiding, under long sleeves, under tights, under anything that stops people looking too long at her eczema.

Then her teacher announces Bravery Challenge Day, and Mia knows exactly what her challenge has to be. Not singing. Not climbing. Something much smaller, and much scarier.

Wear short sleeves. All day. No hiding.

Mia and the Brave Skin is a warm, gentle, and quietly funny story about courage, friendship, and learning that bravery doesn't mean feeling fearless. Sometimes it just means putting one toe in the water.

Perfect for:

• Children aged 7 to 10, especially those living with eczema or other visible skin conditions


• Parents and carers looking for a gentle, empowering conversation-starter about self-confidence and difference


• Classrooms exploring kindness, empathy, and what it means to be brave

With a big-hearted cast of characters and a message that lingers long after the last page, this is a story for any child who has ever wanted to hide, and found the courage not to.
