Why I like this book
I love that Michael’s story does not begin with immediate success. Being rejected from his school basketball team could have made him give up, but instead he practised and worked harder. It is a brilliant reminder that setbacks can become an important part of achieving something special.
Who it’s great for
- Children aged 4 to 8 who enjoy basketball and sport
- Young readers interested in inspiring real life stories
- Children learning about perseverance, practice and overcoming disappointment
