About Braven

A fun, heartwarming story that inspires kindness and courage.

Synopsis

Braven is a young crow with a heart full of curiosity and a head full of “what ifs.” He lives high in the tallest tree with his brothers and wise Mama Crow, who teaches them about courage, kindness, and paying attention to the world around them. One day, a challenge blows into their treetop world — the kind that makes feathers ruffle and beaks quiver. Braven must decide whether to stay safe in the branches or spread his wings and face the unknown. Along the way, he learns that bravery isn’t about never being afraid; it’s about acting with heart even when you are.
