In this relatable sports story, Ted feels the sting of comparison when his twin sister Lisa becomes the star of their soccer team with a flashy new move. As Ted grapples with jealousy and the pressure to perform, he must learn that his value on the team is not defined by imitating others, but by discovering his own unique strengths. It is a perfect choice for early elementary readers (ages 6 to 9) who are beginning to navigate the complexities of sibling rivalry and self-identity. This gentle narrative models how to turn envy into motivation while celebrating the idea that every member of a team has a vital role to play.
