About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has been labeled as mean or aggressive following a playground accident or a competitive sports moment. It is perfect for the spirited, high-energy child who feels misunderstood after their enthusiasm leads to a social conflict. The story follows Lola, a biracial Jewish-Latina girl who accidentally injures a classmate during a soccer game and must navigate the resulting social fallout. Beyond the central conflict of social redemption, the book beautifully explores a unique interfaith and multicultural identity. At 112 pages with charming illustrations, this chapter book is highly accessible for early readers. It serves as a gentle guide for teaching children how to take responsibility for their actions, offer a sincere apology, and maintain their self-confidence even when they make mistakes.
