As parents, we're constantly searching for ways to help our children build confidence, courage, and connection. Sometimes the most powerful tools come wrapped in the simplest packages—like a beautiful children's book that speaks directly to a child's heart.

In this conversation with Kat Kronenberg, bestselling author of the beloved Live Big series, we explore how the right stories can become lifelines for children navigating big emotions, dreams, and challenges. Kat's books—Dream Big, Love Big, Think Big, and the upcoming Live Big with Ketchum—use the heroic journeys of African animals to teach kids they are the heroes of their own stories.

What started as divine inspiration at a symphony has blossomed into a series that helps children from foster homes to classrooms discover their extraordinary potential. Through flamingos that transform from white to gray to pink, caterpillars that dare to dream of flying, and dung beetles that turn difficult circumstances into something beautiful, these stories mirror our children's own capacity for growth and resilience.

Kat shares the heart behind her work, including those tear-filled moments when a 12-year-old foster child asked if she could really become a scientist, and how her books have become tools for parents seeking to calm anxious hearts and build confident spirits.
