Growing Strong Books
Two picture books made to be read together. Strong Like Mom celebrates the everyday strength kids see in their moms. Strong With God uses Bible stories to help families talk about finding strength in God.
Strong Like Mom
In her kids’ eyes, Mom can carry the whole world and chase away every monster under the bed. Strong Like Mom celebrates the everyday ways moms show their strength, as seen by the little people who notice it most.
Strong With God
When Elisha’s servant was afraid, God showed him he wasn’t alone. Strong With God brings Bible stories like this one to life and gives families a way to talk about where we find strength when we’re scared.
How these books came to be
I started writing Strong Like Mom in 2018, when my boys were three and one. For years it was just notes and sketches, but it was a story I actually liked reading to them. Eight years later, I finally finished it.
While I was reviewing the proof, I had the idea for Strong With God. I wanted a story families could read together and talk about when they closed the book. I hope both books give you a few extra minutes together at bedtime.
