Lou knew she was brave. And she was still afraid.
This WonderGuide pairs Ashley Spires’ beloved picture book with Saint Therese of Lisieux, whose Little Way teaches children that courage is not the absence of fear. It is putting your hands on the bark anyway.
The Thing Lou Couldn’t Do WonderGuide guides children through five formation movements:
Notice • listening for what Lou’s face reveals that her words will not say
Reflect • sitting with the moment Lou stops believing her own excuses
Connect • naming the thing they actually want to try but keep avoiding
Live It Gently • one small act of courage to practice this week
Seen in a Life Well Lived • meeting Saint Therese of Lisieux, who wanted to do great things, was told she was too small, and chose the Little Way anyway
Because you don’t have to make it to the top. You just have to put your hands on the bark. For Catholic homes and classrooms. Ages 5 to 10. Printable PDF. No prep required.
