About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing the pressure of balancing new responsibilities or dealing with the minor anxieties of losing a prized possession. While it is centered on baseball, the heart of the story is about the internal weight of expectations and the importance of accountability. Rhino is a relatable protagonist who works hard to earn a reward from his grandfather, only to face a crisis when that reward disappears. Ideal for early chapter book readers ages 7 to 10, this story provides a healthy model of a multigenerational household and a child who takes his academic and athletic commitments seriously. Parents will appreciate how it emphasizes that talent comes from within, not from the equipment you use. It is a gentle, supportive read for kids who might feel that their 'luck' is tied to specific objects.
