About This Book
Reach for this book when your child meets every physical challenge with a grumpy face or struggles to see the point of group activities. While Kitty would much rather nap than move, her journey from a couch potato to a reluctant team player provides a relatable entry point for kids who feel intimidated by sports or physical fitness. The story uses humor to dismantle the anxiety around being 'out of shape' or failing at a new skill. Through its energetic graphic novel format, the book explores themes of resilience and the surprising satisfaction of a job well done. Parents will appreciate how Nick Bruel validates a child's frustration while gently nudging them toward a growth mindset. It is an ideal choice for elementary-aged readers who enjoy slapstick comedy but need a little encouragement to step outside their comfort zone.
