About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is a talented individual performer who needs help understanding the value of cooperation and team dynamics. It is an ideal choice for the young athlete who dominates the field but leaves their teammates behind, causing friction both in and out of the game. The story follows Rallo, a gifted soccer player who believes his individual goals are the only thing that matters until he realizes that true success requires a different kind of score. Written for the 8 to 12 age range, this chapter book explores the delicate balance between personal ambition and collective responsibility. It provides a nonjudgmental space for children to reflect on their own behaviors in social and competitive settings. Parents will appreciate how it models the difficult but necessary process of making an apology and changing one's approach to earn back the trust of friends and teammates.
