Courage HatsCourage Hats

Mae is a little girl, and Bear is a bear, but they are both afraid of trains and traveling to places they do not know, so they put on courage hats; Mae's has bear ears, and Bear's has people ears, and when they meet on the train going through bear country to the city, they take courage in each other's company and soon become friends--and when they arrive they exchange hats, which is a lot like exchanging hearts.
"...gently whimsical story about being afraid of being different, the ways we overcome this fear, and the fact that often what's different is a lot closer--and more familiar--than we might think. With courage and a dash of friednship, Mae and Bear discover all the humor, warmth, and beauty found in togetherness and the unknown."--
