Becoming Brave by Tomekah George

If you want to try new things, you have to be brave, but you can't be brave without also being scared. While Jennie grew up wanting to please other people, Abram followed his heart from an early age. The two couldn't have been more different, and yet when they met Jennie fell in love with Abram's fearlessness. But when life takes a turn for the worst and Abram is no longer by Jennie's side, will she find her own courage? This poignant and heart-felt picture book explores themes of love, grief and believing in yourself in a gentle and uplifting way. With a contemporary setting, relatable characters, vibrant artwork and biographical text, this book is great for inspiring little ones and starting important conversations.

This profoundly moving picture book for 4 or 5+ tells the story of a fearful little girl – Wilson herself – who grows into a woman always braced for the worst, and of the brave, creative musician she marriesHer story of weathering his loss, and learning to be “scared and brave, happy and sad, all at the same time”, is heightened by George’s delicate yet hugely powerful illustrations. -- Imogen Russell Williams * The Guardian *

Sitting in the big people's room surrounded by felt tips and a family of Caribbean storytellers as a little kid in Nottingham, UK, has grown into TomekahGeorge. Tomekah,now based in Sheffield, creates delicately hand-crafted illustrations featured in newspapers, food packaging, pottery, classrooms, books and digital campaigns across the US, UK & Europe. Her work is constructed from those early memories above and love for Afrofuturist themes expressed through a blend of colourful and textural layers. Her handmade process continually fuels a bold style creating unique pieces that sit somewhere between a print, collage and a painting. All made for you to market, explain or just enjoy from Tomekah's home to yours. In her personal work, Tomekahregularly combines her Black British background to create prints and homeware that house both cultures in a weird world of Black Joy, colour and dark humour.
