I'm Not Bossy, I'm a Leader! - Hardcover

by Shelley Wheeler (Author), Kiley Nielson (Author)

Leadership doesn't always wear a uniform or stand at the front of the room. Sometimes, it looks like a little girl with a big heart-learning to lift others up, listen, and lead by example.

I'm Not Bossy, I'm a Leader celebrates the journey of becoming that kind of leader-one who unites, encourages, and includes. Through Lena's playful day, readers discover that real leadership isn't about control; it's about care, collaboration, and courage.

Lena takes her leadership cues from the two heroes in her life: her firefighter mother and her Marine Corps father. Their service, strength, and quiet sacrifices shape the way she sees the world and inspires her to lead with love.

This story is especially inspired by and dedicated to the children of military members and first responders-the quiet heroes who carry both pride and longing in their hearts. It is a love letter to the families who serve behind the scenes: those who miss birthdays, carry the weight of worry, and still find strength in each other.
