Benny the bat loves bugs, nighttime skies, and hanging upside down in his forest home. But unlike the other bats, Benny wants more—he wants to see what the world looks like in the daylight.
One dewy morning, his curiosity gets the best of him, and he flies out to explore a bright and colorful new world. But daytime brings more than sunshine and adventure. It also brings unexpected danger, including a hungry hawk who mistakes Benny for a snack!
Through courage, quick thinking, and a bit of luck, Benny learns that exploring is exciting—but it’s also wise to listen to those who care about you.
Filled with soft, expressive illustrations and a charming, rhythmic narrative, Brave Benny is a delightful picture book for children who love animal stories, gentle adventure, and learning to be brave while staying safe.

Ages 4–8
