My New Children's Book

A new children’s book from Sharon McMahon –– available for preorder now!

Today is a day that’s lived in my heart for years.

My new children’s book, We Are Mighty, is finally here — and it’s officially available for preorder starting today.

We Are Mighty began with one question I’ve been asked hundreds of times: How do we raise kids who don’t give up on doing good?

I wanted to show young readers –– and the grown-ups who guide them –– that courage doesn’t always look like power. Sometimes it looks like kindness, persistence, and doing the next needed thing.

That’s how We Are Mighty was born.

Susanna Chapman beautifully illustrated this collection of twelve true stories –– some of them you’ll recognize, some you won’t –– about ordinary Americans who changed the course of history.

You’ll meet María de López, who drove ambulances during World War I and helped win the vote for women.

Two boys, Norman and Alan, who met at a campout, became lifelong friends, and later helped lead the country together.

And teachers, kids, and quiet changemakers whose choices remind us that goodness is still the most powerful force we have.

The illustrations make each story leap off the page –– every spread is a reminder that courage can be taught, and that hope is something we can choose.

Here’s why I’m asking you to preorder now: Early orders matter enormously. They tell bookstores, librarians, and reviewers that this book deserves attention — and that sends it into more classrooms, more living rooms, and more hands of kids who need to know that small things still matter. Preorders are how a message like this grows from a single spark into something mighty.

If you’ve ever believed in teaching kids that goodness is worth the effort, this is your moment to help.

Thank you for helping me share this message with the next generation — that courage doesn’t wait for permission, and that ordinary people still have extraordinary power.
