Braids of Courage: The Road Back Home

📘 Book Summary: Braids of Courage — The Road Back Home

by Devinir Warner-Sims

Jalen is a young boy with bright eyes, neat braids, and a brave heart. When he is taken away from his loving mom and little brother and placed in the care of his strict, unkind father, Jalen feels lost and alone. He misses the warmth of home, the sound of his brother’s laughter, and the safety of his mother’s arms.

One day, Jalen finds the courage to follow his heart. Guided by hope, fluttering butterflies, and the whispers of the forest, he journeys through a magical jungle—climbing over logs, stepping past rustling bushes, and exploring winding paths. Even when he’s unsure of the way, something inside him keeps pushing him forward.

Through bravery, determination, and love, Jalen finds his way back to his mom and brother. Their joyful embrace reminds him that family is worth fighting for—and that courage isn’t just something you use once. It’s something you carry with you forever.

A heartwarming story about love, strength, and the powerful bond between a mother and her children.
