Skinnybones

Parents can reach for this book when their child is feeling discouraged, overshadowed by a peer, or struggling with feelings of inadequacy. Skinnybones is a hilarious story about Alex, a boy who is, in his own words, 'really stinky' at Little League baseball. His nemesis, the star player T.J. Stoner, never lets him forget it. The book follows Alex’s witty internal monologue and his often disastrous attempts to get one up on T.J., culminating in a public, embarrassing, yet surprisingly triumphant moment. This story is perfect for kids ages 7 to 10. It uses humor to explore serious themes like bullying, resilience, and self-acceptance, showing kids that you don't have to be the best to find your own kind of victory.
