In an interview with The Morning Show, Rebel revealed that the inspiration behind Bella the Brave came from her memories growing up in Australia.
‘I kind of wanted to use stories from my real life that hopefully inspire and motivate young kids everywhere,’ she told Morning Show hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies.
The Isn’t It Romantic actress added that the book, which is about ‘overcoming shyness,’ will be the first instalment in a series.
‘It will be a series of books, but this is the first one. They will be about different things,’ she confirmed before revealing the next one will be about ‘body positivity’ and the third one about ‘siblings’.
