The Boy Who Stood Up Tall (Paperback or Softback)

The Boy Who Stood Up Tall follows the journey of a little boy with a sensitive soul who learns to stand up to his fears.

One day, a little boy is playing with his bear when a thunderstorm approaches his house. At first, the little boy is afraid and runs from the storm, but when his bear starts to explain the concepts of fear, bravery, and courage, something magical happens …

Learning to overcome fear is a crucial part of a child’s life. Children who never learn to manage their feelings of fear grow up hiding who they are, and they shrink back from what they truly desire to do in the world. Founder of Resilient Little Hearts, Sarah Boyd, teaches psychology-based principles of finding courage and overcoming fear in the story of The Boy Who Stood Up Tall. This heart-warming tale redefines what courage is and shows young readers that even when they are sensitive and tender-hearted, they can still find courage and discover their internal resources for overcoming fears.

Sarah Boyd is a writer, speaker, and the founder of Resilient Little Hearts, a movement that champions children to build resilience, courage, and kindness through celebrating story-time.
