Stand-Up Sam

By Nate Liedl

Ben loves playgroup - except kickball. The other kids whisper "Not Ben - he always misses," and when his turn to kick finally comes and he whiffs it, they laugh. Sam's tummy feels wobbly: laughing at someone isn't right, but speaking up is scary.

Then Sam stands tall - "That's not funny. Ben's on MY team." - and everything changes.

Stand-Up Sam is the fifth book in Jaxon's Kindness Club, a picture book series that helps little readers practice big kindness. Each book stands alone, with warm crayon illustrations and a gentle lesson kids can carry with them - ending with a Win4Courage.

Created by Nate Liedl in loving memory of his son Jaxon. Every purchase supports Win4Jax, a nonprofit helping child victims of crime.

Perfect for ages 3-7, classroom read-alouds, and any child learning to be brave, kind, and stand up for others.
