Theo is the smallest boy in his class-and he's sure that's the worst thing a boy can be. He hides his skinny arms in a big green hoodie, swallows every feeling, and tries with all his might to make himself big and tough.
But when a frightened little boy gets stuck at the very top of the Field Day climbing tower-too high for any of the big kids to reach-the bravest thing on the whole field turns out to be exactly Theo-sized.
The strongest muscle isn't in your arms. It's the one you can't see.
More Than Strong is a warm, beautifully illustrated read-aloud for boys ages 7-10 about the things boys rarely hear: that your body is not your worth, that big feelings (even tears) are part of being brave, and that real strength means kindness and courage.
- A gentle, boy-focused story about body image, self-worth, and emotions
- Encouraging without being preachy-perfect for bedtime or the classroom
- Includes a short discussion guide for parents and teachers
Because the strongest part of you is the part you can't see.
