Raves & Reviews for Puddle Jumpers

“Filled with hard-won insights, this is a boon for parents.” —Publishers Weekly

"Brandon Webb has cracked the code: Real resilience isn't built by pushing kids harder, but by giving them the space and support to trust themselves, discover what lights them up, and grow through challenge. Puddle Jumpers is the practical guide for building the kind of inner confidence that helps kids withstand whatever pressures come their way—from school, from peers, from a culture that tells them they're never enough." —Jennifer Breheny Wallace, author of New York Times bestseller Never Enough

"Puddle Jumpers is the rare parenting book that doesn't preach—it equips." —Kristina Partsinevelos, CNBC Nasdaq correspondent and mom

"Years ago, I told Brandon to write a book about parenting. I wanted to see lessons from such a fantastic parent shared with the world. What he shares here will not only make you a better parent but a better version of yourself." —Kamal Ravikant, author of Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It

"Part SEAL toughness, part entrepreneurial ingenuity, and all wrapped in fatherly love—Puddle Jumpers offers a fresh approach to parenting. It's about raising kids who embrace challenges, grow resilient through adversity, and discover the confidence to chart their own path." —Dr. Chloe Carmichael, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist and USA Today bestselling author
