LeAnn Race has released a new Christian children's book, Today I Will Be Strong, designed to help young readers navigate difficult moments, relationships, emotions, and the everyday challenges of growing up. The book, announced on October 7, 2026, offers short, meaningful affirmations that encourage children to recognize their inner strength and approach each day with a positive heart.
The book opens with the affirmation, "I will be strong when things are hard," setting a tone of resilience and determination. Throughout its pages, children are urged to choose laughter and bravery, apologize when they hurt someone, help their friends, and practice forgiveness. These simple messages aim to give children positive language to understand and express important values, supporting their emotional development.
Faith is central to the book's approach. Through Christian affirmations, young readers are reminded 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. The final affirmation leaves children with a hopeful message: "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, the book seeks to help young readers begin each day with greater courage, confidence, compassion, and faith.
The release of Today I Will Be Strong comes at a time when children's mental health and emotional resilience are growing concerns. According to the source, the book provides a resource for parents and educators seeking to instill values of bravery, kindness, and forgiveness in children. By framing strength not as fearlessness but as the courage to be kind and confident, the book offers a counter-narrative to more aggressive or competitive models of strength.
LeAnn Race, who lives in Meridian, Idaho, and grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is a devoted mother whose heart for her children inspired the message within these pages. What began as a simple prayer during a challenging season of parenting became a daily declaration of strength and faith for her family. Her personal experience lends authenticity to the book's message, making it relatable to other families facing similar struggles.
The book is published with the support of Storytime Publishers, a company dedicated to helping authors bring meaningful books to readers. Today I Will Be Strong is now available to families and young readers looking for an encouraging message of strength and faith.
