The conversations every child needs - and most adults wish someone had had with them.
Courage to Overcome is a collection of thought-provoking short stories that gently opens the door to the hardest topics of childhood: bullying, peer pressure, abuse, self-harm, grief, and more. All stories are fiction and do not depict any real person-but the lessons inside are real, practical, and potentially life-changing.
Dubbed the modern-day Royal Readers, this is more than a book for troubled kids; it's a book for every child-because every child will, at some point, face fear, temptation, peer pressure, or a moment where they don't know who to trust.
Each illustrated story is followed by discussion questions designed for the classroom, home, or youth group-turning reading time into real conversation.
Inside, children learn:
- Why listening to wise counsel can spare them unnecessary pain
- The real cost of gangs, and why belonging isn't worth the price
- How to recognize bullying - and respond to it safely
- Why they should always tell a trusted adult if someone touches them inappropriately
- Why waiting matters, and the risks of being sexually active too young
- The hard realities of teen pregnancy for young parents and their families
- Why being respected matters more than being popular
- Why honesty always outlasts the short-term gain of stealing or lying
- Why education is one of the greatest tools for their future
- That hurting themselves is never the answer-and it's always okay to ask for help
- Why alcohol and drugs bring more harm than relief
- The basics of good hygiene and self-care
- Why healthy eating matters for a healthy body
- How to move through grief
- Who they can turn to for help - and so much more
Bonus features included: colorable illustrations and word search puzzles with every story, making this as much an activity book as a discussion tool.
Courage to Overcome reminds every child that they are not alone - and that no matter what they're facing, there is always someone who cares and is rooting for them.
Available in paperback and Kindle - perfect for home libraries, classrooms, counseling offices, and youth groups.
