LeAnn Race Releases 'Today I Will Be Strong': A Christian Book of Courage for Kids

In a world where children face increasing pressures and emotional challenges, author LeAnn Race offers a beacon of hope with her new book, Today I Will Be Strong. This uplifting Christian children's book is designed to encourage young readers as they navigate difficult moments, relationships, emotions, and the everyday hurdles of growing up. Race, a devoted mother from Meridian, Idaho, was inspired to write the book after a challenging season of parenting, when a simple prayer became a daily declaration of strength and faith for her family. Published with the support of Storytime Publishers, Today I Will Be Strong is now available to families and young readers seeking an encouraging message of resilience and faith.

At its core, Today I Will Be Strong serves as a children's book about courage, reminding kids that strength is not just about being fearless but also about choosing bravery, kindness, forgiveness, and confidence when life gets tough. Through short, meaningful affirmations, the book helps children recognize the strength they already possess and approach each day with a positive heart. The opening line, “I will be strong when things are hard,” sets the tone for a series of empowering statements that encourage children to choose laughter and bravery, apologize when they hurt someone, help their friends, and practice forgiveness. Faith is woven throughout, with Christian affirmations for kids that remind young readers that forgiveness can come from love for Jesus and that they can have confidence because they are children of God. The book also emphasizes the importance of family, presenting home as a place of safety, togetherness, and unity, and ends with the hopeful affirmation: “Today will be great, because I am strong!”

With its accessible language and faith-centered encouragement, Today I Will Be Strong can be a meaningful addition to homes, classrooms, Sunday school settings, and family reading time. As a collection of positive affirmations for children, the book seeks to help young readers begin each day with greater courage, confidence, compassion, and faith. LeAnn Race's debut is now available for purchase through major retailers. You can find Today I Will Be Strong on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
