I Am Strong Just Being Me - Laura Dockrill - Bog

A poetic story from Laura Dockrill (Angry Cookie, The Lipstick, Grey) that shows children that there are many different ways to be strong. Is strong brave and fearless?Does it always win a fight?Does strong have a shouty voice?Is it always right?These are some of the questions that the inquisitive Bean asks their Nanna one day while in the garden. What follows is a stunning, lyrical exploration of strength and its many guises. From the power of silence to the strength of an embrace, this uplifting picture book offers an alternative to the stereotypes around strength, and encourages all children that they can be strong in their own way. The lyrical text is accompanied by Kip Alizadeh's gorgeous, evocative illustrations, which are a celebration of the natural world. Just like Today I'm Strong by Nadiya Hussain and Ella Bailey, The Lion Inside by Rachel Bright and Jim Field, and the Big Bright Feelings series by Tom Percival, I Am Strong Just Being Me is a powerful picture book that inspires reflection.
