About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their early reader needs a story that builds confidence and reframes school competition as pure fun. If your child feels anxious about Sports Day or comparing themselves to peers, this book offers a joyful alternative. The story follows friends Jake, Bella, and Nasim as they invent a wonderfully silly and creative race for their class. Instead of focusing on who is fastest, their "Fun Race" involves teamwork, imagination, and lots of laughter. This gentle school story is perfect for ages 5 to 7, with simple text and supportive illustrations. It's a fantastic choice to encourage a love of reading while modeling positive friendship, collaboration, and the idea that having fun is the most important part of any game.
