A charming picture book about how bravery doesn't always come naturally, from Dr Richard 'Harry' Harris, a key member of the international cave-diving group who rescued the Wild Boar soccer team in Thailand. Illustrated by the talented Simon Howe, who perfectly captures the emotional ups and downs of the adorable and expressive Alfie.
