About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a performance, starting a new team activity, or feeling discouraged that they aren't an expert yet. It is the perfect antidote to 'perfectionism' by showing that even world-class champions have to practice, collaborate, and sometimes start from scratch. Based on the real-life experience of world champion pizza flipper Tony Gemignani, the story follows a group of friends with unique strengths as they prepare for a major competition in Italy. It highlights the importance of finding one's own 'superpower' and the joy of working toward a common goal. This is an upbeat, high-energy choice for children ages 4 to 8 who love food, travel, or high-stakes sports narratives. It also serves as a fantastic bridge into the kitchen, encouraging families to try the included recipe together.
