About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is bursting with energy or beginning to show interest in team sports and physical play. Hoops with Swoopes is less of a traditional story and more of a rhythmic, photographic celebration of movement, confidence, and the joy of the game. Through vibrant action shots of WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes, the book captures the poetic flow of basketball using short, punchy text that mirrors the bounce of a ball. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary children to build self-esteem and see a world-class female athlete as a hero. Parents will appreciate how it frames physical activity as a form of creative expression and personal pride, making it a perfect bedtime or pre-game read-aloud.
