An athletic girl finds that strength comes in surprising forms in an uplifting story of confidence and kindness from British writer and popular social commentator Kelechi Okafor.
Kamara is super strong, and she loves that—it makes her feel fizzy and zappy! She wins at almost every competition. But lately she’s been hearing resentful words from her classmates, and she’s starting to doubt herself and the good feeling she gets from her physical ability. With sports day and the Big Race approaching, does Kamara have what it takes to reach the finish line? This picture book debut by author and UK podcast host Kelechi Okafor is an inspirational story aimed at helping children discover their power, champion themselves, have compassion for others, and be unapologetically secure in who they are. Packed full of heart, Strong Like Me opens important conversations around ability, intersectionality, race, and identity.
