LeAnn Race has released Today I Will Be Strong, a Christian children's book designed to help young readers navigate difficult moments, relationships, emotions, and the everyday challenges of growing up. The book, published with the support of Storytime Publishers, delivers a simple yet powerful message: strength is not only about being fearless but also about choosing bravery, kindness, forgiveness, and confidence when life becomes hard.
Why does this matter? In a time when children face increasing social and emotional pressures, resources that offer positive language and faith-based encouragement can be invaluable. Today I Will Be Strong provides short, meaningful affirmations that children can easily remember and apply. The opening line, "I will be strong when things are hard," sets a tone of resilience. Other affirmations encourage children to choose laughter and bravery, apologize when they hurt someone, help their friends, and practice forgiveness. These simple statements are designed to help children recognize the strength they already possess and approach each day with a positive heart.
The book's impact extends beyond general encouragement. It supports children's emotional development by giving them words to understand and express important values. Parents, teachers, and Sunday school leaders can use the affirmations as conversation starters, helping children think about how they respond to challenges, treat others, and build confidence from within. Faith is woven throughout: Christian affirmations remind young readers that forgiveness comes from love for Jesus and that they can have confidence because they are children of God. The book also emphasizes family, presenting home as a place of safety, togetherness, and unity. Its final affirmation leaves children with a hopeful message: "Today will be great, because I am strong!"
The release of Today I Will Be Strong comes at a time when demand for faith-based children's literature is growing. Many parents seek materials that align with their values and help children develop character. This book meets that need with accessible language and a focus on positive affirmations. It can be a meaningful addition to homes, classrooms, Sunday school settings, and family reading time. By beginning each day with courage, confidence, compassion, and faith, children can carry these lessons into their daily lives.
