LeAnn Race has released Today I Will Be Strong, a Christian children's book designed to help young readers navigate difficult moments, relationships, emotions, and the everyday challenges of growing up. The book, announced in San Jose, California, on October 7, 2026, offers a simple and encouraging message: strength is not only about being fearless, but also about choosing bravery, kindness, forgiveness, and confidence when life becomes difficult.
Through short, meaningful affirmations, children are encouraged to recognize the strength they already possess and approach each day with a positive heart. The book opens with a powerful reminder: "I will be strong when things are hard," establishing its central message of resilience and determination. Other affirmations encourage children to choose laughter and bravery, apologize when they hurt someone, help their friends, and practice forgiveness.
At its heart, Today I Will Be Strong supports children's emotional development by giving young readers positive language they can use to understand and express important values. The affirmations create opportunities for children to think about how they respond to challenges, how they treat others, and how they can build confidence from within. This approach is particularly important as children face increasing pressures in school, social settings, and home life. By providing a framework for positive self-talk, the book aims to equip children with tools to manage their emotions and build resilience from an early age.
Faith is also an important part of the book's message. Through Christian affirmations for kids, 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. Its final affirmation leaves children with a hopeful message for the day ahead: "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 for children, the book seeks to help young readers begin each day with greater courage, confidence, compassion, and faith. The release comes amid growing demand for children's literature that addresses emotional well-being and character development, and the book's blend of Christian values and practical affirmations positions it as a resource for parents and educators seeking to nurture both spiritual and emotional growth.
Today I Will Be Strong by LeAnn Race is now available to families and young readers looking for an encouraging message of strength and faith. The book can be purchased at major retailers, including Barnes & Noble and Amazon, where it is available in eBook format. Readers can also explore more works by the author at her Amazon Author Store.
