Brooke's Big Decision

Reach for this book when your child is starting to feel the weight of over-scheduling or the guilt of outgrowing a hobby they once loved. Brooke's Big Decision speaks to the specific anxiety of being a 'team player' while privately yearning to explore a different creative path. It navigates the complex social dynamics of youth sports, where leaving a team can feel like a betrayal of friendship. Through Brooke's journey from the gymnastics mat to the art studio, the story explores themes of self-identity and the courage required to be honest with oneself and others. It is an ideal choice for elementary and middle schoolers who are learning how to set boundaries and prioritize their own happiness over external expectations.
