A Kids Book About Series
What’s inside...
Written in the straightforward, conversation-style voice typical of the A Kids Book About series, this title by youth mentor Sam Johnson invites children to rethink what it means to be strong. Through real-life scenarios at school, on the playground, and at home, the author explains that true strength comes from perseverance, self-belief, and the courage to ask for help. Bright, minimalist pages guide readers to see how emotional, mental, and physical strength show up in everyday life and how everyone—no matter their size—can practice it.
