Raising awareness. Inspiring bravery. One heart at a time.
 
Born Brave is a heartwarming and faith-filled children’s book about congenital heart disease (CHD), courage, and resilience — told through the eyes of an 8-year-old “heart warrior” who was born with Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) and underwent open-heart surgery at just three days old.
 
Now thriving and full of life, Duce shares his inspiring journey of bravery, faith, and fearless living, reminding readers that even the smallest hearts can hold the biggest strength.
From hospital stays and doctor visits to shooting basketball hoops and preaching the gospel, this empowering story celebrates the resilience of children living with medical challenges — and the hope that comes from faith and family support.
 
Perfect for families, teachers, Sunday schools, children’s hospitals, and heart warrior communities, Born Brave is more than just a story — it’s a message of faith, courage, and never giving up. This beautifully illustrated picture book helps:
 
Raise awareness for congenital heart disease in children
Encourage kids to face challenges with bravery and confidence
Inspire conversations about resilience, hope, and healing
Support heart warrior families and young readers overcoming obstacles
 
Whether you’re a parent of a heart hero, a teacher looking to build empathy in your classroom, or someone wanting to gift encouragement to a child in the hospital, Born Brave reminds every reader that they were created strong, chosen brave, and born to shine.
