"A Beautiful Celebration of Strength in All Its Forms." - Dapo Adeola



Kamara adores her super strength, as it fills her with a delightful fizziness and zappiness. However, the negative words of her classmates begin to erode her confidence and question her physical abilities. As sport's day and the Big Race approach, Kamara must confront her doubts and determine if she possesses the necessary skills to cross the finish line.



"Strong Like Me" is the captivating picture-book debut by writer, social commentator, and podcast host Kelechi Okafor. This inspiring story aims to empower children to discover their strength, champion themselves, and embrace their uniqueness without hesitation. Filled with warmth and heartfelt messages, the story delves into important discussions surrounding ability, intersectionality, race, and identity.



Through Kamara's journey, readers are encouraged to embrace their own abilities and celebrate their differences. The book promotes the idea that strength comes in various forms and that everyone has the potential to excel in their unique way. It encourages children to be unapologetically secure in who they are and to never let others' opinions diminish their self-worth.



"Strong Like Me" is a timely and valuable addition to children's literature, offering a message of empowerment and acceptance. It serves as a reminder that we all possess the strength to overcome challenges and achieve our goals, regardless of our physical abilities or background. This book will inspire and empower young readers to embrace their uniqueness and strive for greatness.
