A picture book about finding strength in unlikely places from the team behind the hugely popular New York Times bestseller Be Kind. When her gym class must face the school rock-climbing wall, Tanisha is discouraged. Her muscles are weak, and she knows she' ll never reach the top like Cayla. But maybe strength is about more than just muscles. With help from her family, Tanisha learns that by showing up, speaking up, and not giving up, she can be strong, too. And that people are the strongest when they work together and trust each other. Award-winning author Pat Zietlow Miller has reunited with illustrator Jen Hill for Be Strong, another unforgettable story sure to inspire kids and adults alike.
This exploration of the true meaning of being strong is layered and lovely, provoking deep thought, feeling, and conversation about this important virtue and its corollaries--perseverance, leadership, and caring. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Praise for Be Kind: "These days, it seems more important than ever for books to show young people how to act with thoughtfulness, civility, and kindness. " --The New York Times Book Review"[A] lovely exploration of empathy and thoughtfulness. " --Publishers Weekly, starred review "A thoughtful picture book. " --Booklist"This picture book champions interpersonal kindness both globally and in a young child' s town . . . The story gives children many concrete ideas of actionable kind deeds. " --Kirkus Reviews"The book presents the powerful message that small acts of kindness matter, and that they can build with other acts of kindness to make a difference . . . A valuable addition on this topic [that] will promote conversation about what it means to be kind. " --School Library Journal
