Reach for this book when your child is ready to quit a new activity because it is harder than they expected. Mo Jackson is a relatable protagonist who struggles with the physical demands of ice hockey, specifically staying upright on his skates. Instead of focusing on becoming a star player, the story highlights Mo's determination to contribute to his team in any way he can. This early chapter book is perfect for children ages 6 to 8 who are navigating the transition from 'trying' to 'practicing.' It effectively normalizes the physical clumsiness and minor embarrassments that come with learning a new sport. Parents will appreciate the way it models a growth mindset and emphasizes that being a good teammate is more important than scoring the winning goal.
