About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with sportsmanship or finds themselves overwhelmed by big feelings during competition. Karen Brewer is thrilled to join a softball team, but she quickly discovers that being a 'sore loser' or an 'arrogant winner' can hurt her friendships. The story explores how to navigate the highs and lows of athletics while maintaining respect for teammates and opponents alike. It is a relatable choice for children aged 6 to 9 who are entering organized sports or dealing with sibling rivalry in a blended family. This early chapter book models how to take accountability for one's behavior and make a genuine apology when emotions get the best of you.
