Neo's Invisible Blanket by Salamina Mosese

Illustrated by Subi Bosa

Neo loves adventures, but sometimes fear quietly tags along. Whether it’s climbing high, facing something unfamiliar, or stepping into a brand-new space, Neo isn’t always sure he feels brave enough.

With the help of his confident and caring sister Thandi, Neo discovers a clever idea — an invisible blanket that makes him feel safe wherever he goes. Wrapped in encouragement and belief, Neo begins to realise that courage isn’t about never feeling scared, but about trusting yourself even when you are.

As Neo faces bigger moments, like starting a new school and taking part in the swimming gala, this gentle story reminds children that bravery grows from within. A comforting and empowering book that supports confidence, reassurance, and believing in yourself.
