Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall offers a relatable and reassuring story about facing fears and finding the courage to try.
Through Jabari’s experience, students see that feeling nervous is a natural part of doing something new, and that confidence grows when we take that first step. It invites reflection on perseverance, self-belief, and the bravery it takes to keep going, especially as students look ahead to new challenges and experiences.
