Soft Courage

Soft Courage is the story, told through the eyes of a soft toy penguin called Yannick, of the adventures of peace activist and mountaineer Tess Burrows. It should not be mistaken for a children’s book – although many adventurous, outdoorsy and sensitive children will love it for its blend of exciting, high altitude adventure and nuggets of spiritual wisdom, based around the central tenets of Buddhism. By the end, we are given an insight into how the character of Yannick has developed, and how these tenets might be used to inform and enhance our everyday lives.
