To my kids, Jotham and Ezrah, I love you so much. To my very supportive husband, Francis, thank you and I love you.


In a bright and cheerful town lived a little boy named Jotham. He had sparkling eyes, quick feet, and more energy than a bouncing ball. Every morning he ran outside to play.
"Race you to the tree!" Jotham shouted to the other children.

"Wait for us!" Laughed Ezrah, Yoshi and Aaron as they chased after him.
Jotham loved games-running, climbing, kicking balls, and pretending to be a superhero.
But there was one problem.
Whenever something didn't go his way....
Jotham got very angry.
One afternoon the children were playing with a colorful ball.
Yoshi kicked it high. Mia caught it.
Then Aaron grabbed it and laughed.
"I want the ball now!" Jotham said, stomping his foot.
"Wait, Jotham," said Aaron. " It's still my turn."
But Jotham's face turned red.
" I said GIVE IT!"
He pushed Aaron. The ball rolled away.
Aaron fell down and started to cry.
Everything became quite. The children stopped playing.
No one laughed anymore.
Jotham sat alone on a bench.
His chest felt tight. His tummy felt funny.
"Why does everyone look sad?" he whispered.
Just then, Mama walked over. She gently sat beside him.
"Jotham," she said softly, " What happened?"
Jotham looked down at his shoes.
"I pushed Aaron... again."
Mama nodded.
"Do you know what real strength is?"
Jotham shrugged.
"Is it being the fastest?" he asked
"Is it being the strongest?"
Mama smiled gently.
"Real strength," she said, "is being kind, even
when you feel angry."
