When your child is paralyzed by the fear of repeating a past mistake, especially in a performance setting like sports or the arts, this book offers a relatable path forward. Wild Pitch follows Robbie Hammond, a young baseball pitcher with a powerful arm but zero control. His teammates and his coach, who is also his father, are frustrated. But Robbie's struggle stems from a traumatic event in a previous game that he's kept secret.

For ages 8 to 12, it’s a perfect choice for kids who need to see that one mistake doesn't define them and that true strength comes from facing your fears.
