Bookroo's summary

Tanisha faces the daunting school rock-climbing wall, feeling weak and discouraged. Unlike her classmate Cayla, she doubts she'll ever reach the top. But with her family's support, Tanisha discovers that true strength lies in perseverance, courage, and teamwork. Can she redefine what it means to be strong and inspire others along the way? This heartwarming tale explores the power of showing up and not giving up.

From the publisher

A picture book about finding strength in unlikely places from the team behind the hugely popular New York Times bestseller Be Kind. When her gym class must face the school rock-climbing wall, Tanisha is discouraged. Her muscles are weak, and she knows she’ll never reach the top like Cayla. But maybe strength is about more than just muscles. With help from her family, Tanisha learns that by showing up, speaking up, and not giving up, she can be strong, too. And that people are the strongest when they work together and trust each other. Award-winning author Pat Zietlow Miller has reunited with illustrator Jen Hill for Be Strong, another unforgettable story sure to inspire kids and adults alike.
