Nervous and excited at the same time. It shows how having a support system can really help you through self-doubt. I know this book is about a kid and a sport, but it’s really SO much more. Teaching kids to believe in themselves, teaching kids it’s okay to feel more than one emotion at a time, teaching other kids to be supportive of others. Love it. And the illustrations are awesome. Great read.' Amazon reader'As a rugby coach and a mom, I love this book! It really represents the teamwork needed on a rugby team and the sense of community that a team can provide. It’s great that the book includes some rugby rules and how to play. It’s a fantastic way to introduce rugby to little future ruggers. My 4-year-old really enjoys the story. The illustrations are really nice too.' Amazon reader'This book is a great representation of the fact that rugby is for everyBody. Moreover, it addresses the very real fears of being new to something all while representing a happy young girl playing a contact sport! It is a wonderful showcase of teamwork and how sports help girls gain confidence.' Ruth DeMott Ages: 7 to 11, grades 2 to 5Product Size: 8.5' by 8.5'
