Strong Like Me

Strong Like Me follows Jo, a determined young girl who learns that strength is about far more than muscles—it’s about confidence, courage, and believing in yourself.

From being picked last on the playground to proving herself on the field, Jo faces moments that many girls experience as they grow up: being underestimated, overlooked, or told—directly or indirectly—that strength belongs to someone else. But Jo refuses to give up. Through sports, perseverance, and self-discovery, she learns that real strength comes from within.

As Jo grows, so does her understanding of what it means to be strong—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Her journey encourages readers to challenge stereotypes, trust their abilities, and hold onto confidence through every stage of life.

Perfect for young readers, families, and classrooms, Strong Like Me is an empowering story that reminds every child that their strength is uniquely their own—and that believing in yourself can change everything.
