Elio & Solace: Travel The World.

Elio and Solace: The Circle of Courage is a powerful, beautifully illustrated story about bravery, belonging, and the strength we find when we stand together. When Elio and his glowing companion, Solace, arrive in a community where children feel small, unsure, or alone in their fears, they begin forming a circle, one child at a time.
Each chapter introduces a young person carrying a different kind of courage: the courage to speak up, to try again, to tell the truth, to ask for help, to be themselves. Through gentle guidance and the warm light of Solace, Elio helps each child recognize the bravery already living inside them. As the circle grows, the children discover something extraordinary: courage becomes stronger when it is shared.
With poetic storytelling, cinematic illustrations, and reflection prompts that invite readers to explore their own brave moments, this book offers a safe, inspiring space for children to understand courage not as something loud or heroic, but as something deeply human.

Perfect for ages 6–10, Elio and Solace: The Circle of Courage is a heartfelt companion for families, classrooms, and emotional wellness spaces, a reminder that no one is brave alone, and every child deserves a circle that helps them shine.
