Reach for this book when your child uses jokes and silliness as a shield when they are nervous, or if they struggle to stay focused during serious team activities.

It is a perfect choice for reluctant readers who need fast-paced action to stay engaged. Through Jay's journey, children see that teamwork requires more than just individual skill; it requires emotional maturity and the ability to listen. The book balances fantasy martial arts with a relatable coming-of-age struggle, making it ideal for ages 6 to 9. It offers a bridge for parents to talk about the difference between being a jokester and being a teammate.
