Brave Irene by William Steig is the story of a helpful and resilient young girl named Irene. Irene with her big heart look to help her sick mother get a ball gown across town to the duchess for her ball that night. Her delivery turns out to be a lesson in resilience as she faces the bitter winds and whiteout conditions of a winter storm. Will Irene persist and follow through on her promise to her mother?

Will the client be grateful for the late delivery? William Steig's classic illustrations and a story that stands the test of time is a wonderful way to teach your child the meaning of a kind deed and the resilience that it can take to complete your kind task.
