Reviews
The illustrations in this book are vivid, colorful, and full of energy, perfectly capturing the excitement of the game and the emotions of the characters. The message of teamwork, inclusiveness, and standing up for what's right is both lovely and important. I highly recommend this book to parents of sporty kids, as well as to PE teachers and coaches who want to encourage collaboration and sportsmanship.- Netgalley Educator.
