When Stubborn Meets Brave

When Stubborn Meets Brave

Book 3 in the Strong Kids Series

What does it mean to be brave?

Sometimes bravery isn’t about being the fastest or the loudest.

Sometimes it means standing beside a friend when others walk away.

When Stubborn Meets Brave is a heartfelt picture book about courage, kindness, and the power of speaking up for someone else.

In gym class, teams are being chosen for kickball when a classmate suggests leaving David out. David learns and moves through the world a little differently, and some kids don’t always understand him.

But Jennifer feels that familiar stubborn spark inside her — the one that says something isn’t right.

What happens next shows how one small moment of courage can change the way others see someone.

Perfect for:

• classroom read-aloud

• discussions about kindness and inclusion

• social-emotional learning lessons

• teaching kids about courage and empathy

From the Strong Kids Series, stories that help children discover the many ways strength can look:

• perseverance
• independence

Because every child has strength inside them.
