It beautifully explores the intersection of self-worth and performance, helping children navigate the frustration of being overlooked. While the setting is the soccer field, the emotional core is about finding the internal courage to stay ready for your moment. It is a perfect choice for 8 to 12 year olds who are navigating team dynamics, jealousy, or the pressure to perform at a high level.
