Omschrijving

What if your greatest strength felt like your biggest secret? Lena lives for soccer, the feel of the ball, the rush of the wind as her powerful legs propel her across the field. But despite her talent, Lena holds back, hiding her strong legs beneath long shorts, wishing they were smaller, thinner. She keeps her best game locked away, feeling a quiet sadness about her body.

Then Rory joins the team. Shy and self-conscious about his round shape, Rory quickly becomes the target of unkind whispers. Lena sees his pain and a familiar ache stirs within her own heart. Recognizing Rory's struggle mirrors her own, Lena faces a choice: Will she continue to hide her own strength, or will she find the courage to stand up for Rory—and in doing so, finally embrace the incredible power and dignity of her own body, inside and out?

This inspiring story celebrates self-acceptance, empathy, and the importance of valuing every unique individual. "Lena's Strong Game" is a powerful read for young people discovering that true strength shines brightest when we learn to love ourselves and champion others. It was written by Eva Suluk and published through The Arts Incubator Winnipeg, Art Borups Corners storytelling and literacy clubs, with support from Global Dignity Canada. This special short story also includes a discussion guide for classes, families and groups to discuss the core values of dignity and kindness.
