Grow Strong Minds Volume 1 book cover

Make it theirs.

Keep it classic and the book stays exactly as it was written. Or make it personal — add your child's name, friends, school, and more, and we'll put them right into the story.

01

Classic or customized

Keep it classic: a wonderful story, ready to read as-is. Customize: add your child's name, friends, school, and more — we'll weave them into the book.

02

Share only what you like

Each detail is optional or can make it generic. Everything you share only personalizes your child's book — it's never shared with anyone.

03

Printed & shipped

Every book is printed individually after you order — that's what makes it theirs. It ships directly to your door in 3–5 weeks (faster options at checkout).

Inside Volume 1

Eight chapters, always included. The challenges you pick decide which chapters get the deepest personalization — a tailored spotlight for your reader.

2Big Emotions Have a Job
3Fail Like a Pro
4Speak Up
5How to Make Friends (Without Being Weird About It)
6Pressure Is a Privilege
7Try New Things
8Your Brain Grows When You Do

Every chapter ends with a Try it — something small your reader can actually do, not just read about. Plus a personal pledge, an emergency cheat sheet, and a letter to their future self.

Our story

Grow Strong Minds logo — a happy brain with a sprout
Hunter, 11 — the kid behind Grow Strong Minds

Grow Strong Minds started with an 11-year-old named Hunter who had an idea: what if there was a book that talked to kids like they were actual people — about confidence, pressure, friends, all of it — instead of talking down to them?

He wanted to improve a few things himself. He wanted a book that spoke to him. So he started contributing ideas — and he reads every book first. If he thinks something is boring or fake, it gets cut.

If your child is holding this book, they're holding something an 11-year-old already tested and approved. That's the whole origin story. One kid's idea, built for kids like yours.

"I wanted a book that felt like it was written for me — so we made one. For every kid."

— Hunter, founder (age 11)

Good books do good.

A portion of every purchase supports youth arts and mental health — because strong minds grow in strong communities.

🎨 Youth arts

A portion of proceeds goes to a youth art centre in Collingwood, Ontario — Hunter's hometown. Creativity is a strong-mind skill too.

💚 Mental health

A portion of proceeds supports youth mental health programs. The tools in these books work best when kids have support around them.

Questions

How long does it take to arrive?

Standard delivery is 3–5 weeks: a few days to print your child's one-of-a-kind book, then economical shipping. Faster options with exact prices are shown at checkout before you pay.

What exactly gets personalized?

Name, nickname, age, school, teams, hobbies, pets, parents, siblings, friends — plus the challenges you select, which decide the book's spotlight chapters. Every field is optional; anything you skip reads naturally as a generic fallback.

What if I don't want to share details about my kid?

Choose "Keep it classic" — the book stays exactly as written, a wonderful story ready to read. Or customize and make any individual field generic. Your call, field by field.

What ages is it for?

Volume 1 comes in four editions — ages 5–7, 8–10, 11–13, and 14–16 — each written in the language of that age. The 11–13 edition was tested by an 11-year-old first reader: real talk, no talking down.

Is my child's information safe?

Yes. Details you enter only personalize your child's book. They're never shared, sold, or used for anything else.

Where does my money go?

Your purchase covers printing, payment processing, and a portion set aside for youth arts and mental health programs. Shipping is charged separately at checkout.
