Be Strong! Be You! Be Proud!

This is a picture book biography about Rob Kearney and his adventures in become a champion strongman and more importantly being strong enough to be his true self.

Rob does not feel like he fits in with other strongmen. He likes to wear bright colors, unicorns and he is gay. Through encouragement and love he realizes his real strength blossoms when he embraces his inner self.

I love picture book autobiographies because they are so much fun to read at storytime! This book reads so well and has such a positive message about being yourself.

This is the story of Rob Kearney, professional strongman and world record holder. Rob is also openly gay but didn’t always have the easiest time expressing who he was. Rob finds out his true strength comes from being his true self. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
