After a frightening moment leaves him filled with shame, Tunde encounters a mysterious antelope who offers him something impossible: borrowed courage. At first, the courage changes everything. But when confidence becomes recklessness, Tunde begins to realise that true courage cannot be borrowed forever. Through quiet lessons and difficult choices, he discovers that bravery is not about becoming fearless—it is about choosing to act even while afraid. Readers will gain: emotional confidence, resilience, self-awareness, courage-building lessons, and meaningful reflection about fear and growth. Perfect for children, families, classrooms, and social-emotional learning discussions.
