Sneak Peek Into Brave Bow to Toe – An Interactive Cheerleading Adventure

There’s something different about book number four in the Little Cheer Library box set. Brave Bow to Toe isn’t just a story to read. It’s an experience.

This book takes you right backstage at a cheer competition. The nerves, the butterflies, the bright lights and the booming crowd — it’s all there. But here’s the twist. Your little one doesn’t just read the story. They become part of it.

Inside, they’ll pick the names of the characters — from Girl One (the star of the show) to CFF (cheer friend forever), Mr Positive (the hype boy), and even the coach. They’ll choose their dream team name and their team colours. Then, as the story unfolds, they’ll spot where to slot their choices in. Suddenly it’s not just a book anymore — it’s their story.

And because cheer is all about creativity and expression, there’s colouring and writing sections too. They’ll be able to fill out what it felt like doing their first performance, colour the illustrations to match their team, and relive those big competition feels from bow to toe.

This one is close to my heart. The dedication reads:

“For all my fellow dyslexics and neurodivergent souls out there. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that there’s always another way, even if it’s not the way everyone else takes. Keep chasing what lights you up and never stop believing in yourself. Much love.”

That sums it up, really. Brave Bow to Toe is about finding your way, facing the spotlight, and realising you’re braver than you think.

If your little cheerleader is just starting out — maybe they’ve never done a competition before — this book is the perfect way to capture those feelings. And it’s something they’ll be able to make their own. So let’s get started:

GIRL ONE peeked out from

behind the curtain, her heart thumping like the bass in an eight-count track. The crowd looked enormous!

Bright lights shone down on the cheer floor, making everything feel bigger, louder, and just a little bit scarier.

Today was her first-ever cheer performance. A real routine, on a big stage, in front of a massive audience. She had only started cheerleading this year, and already, she was a main base on a real cheer team—something she never expected!

Surprisingly, GIRL ONE loved basing. The challenge, the teamwork, the rush of finally hitting a stunt—it was different from anything she had felt before. Coming from a gymnastics background, tumbling felt natural, but stunts?

Stunts were her new thing!

As she thought about everything she had learned this year—the fun times, the silly moments, the tough practices—

GIRL ONE caught herself daydreaming. She imagined herself hitting the perfect routine, her facials on point, her smile shining under the lights…

You can find Brave Bow to Toe as part of the Little Cheer Library box set, exclusive on the website, or as a standalone through major retailers or on the shop page.

So, are you ready to step behind the curtain, take a deep breath, and jump into the lights? Then this book is waiting for you.
