The day Dad joined my soccer team
Par Mike Lowery, Maureen Fergus. 2018
Instead of volunteering to provide halftime snacks, a dedicated Soccer Dad decides to join his son's soccer team. Dad complains…
about having to play defense (boring!) and thinks playing soccer is all about winning. When his son explains that soccer is about having fun, Dad picks dandelions, fools around on the sidelines and kicks the practice balls everywhere.

Then he decides to listen to the game on his radio, which he places under his pillow. With the familiar drone of the announcer's voice for company, the boy drifts off to sleep… only to find himself at the centre of the action, playing for his favourite team!

Par Loredana Cunti. 2019
Kakapo is crazy about karate. No student at her dojo tries harder or practices more. She loves the blocks, the…
strikes, the stances. And she especially loves the super-fast kicks: the running kicks, the jumping kicks, the side kicks ... but no amount of practice can help her conquer the elusive flying kick. You see, kakapos can't fly. Despite this, Kakapo works hard on everything else to perfect her skills. She has earned every belt from yellow to green to blue to red. And now it's time for the most difficult karate challenge of all: the black belt test. Kakapo is ready. After all, she has practiced as much as any bird could and mastered all the moves. Except that one, of course. But surely the senseis won't ask her to do a flying kick. Will they? Loredana Cunti's adorable Kakapo discovers (with a little help from a kind teacher!) that sometimes seeing a problem from a different perspective can help you solve it. It's a wonderful model for children facing obstacles in their own lives, and a great example of a growth mindset. It aligns with social studies lessons on self-awareness and personal development. Award-winning cartoonist Stacy Curtis's illustrations of a kakapo doing karate are hilarious and full of energy, and just might inspire some new students of karate (or other martial arts). The art was reviewed by a karate expert to ensure the moves are accurately portrayed. This playful and funny picture book is perfect for storytime. It also makes a great choice for character education lessons on self-discipline and perseverance.The Hockey Sweater
Par Sheila Fischman, Roch Carrier, Sheldon Cohen. 1985
In the days of Roch’s childhood, winters in the village of Ste. Justine were long. Life centered around school, church,…

They even wore their hair like Richard. When Roch outgrows his cherished Canadiens sweater, his mother writes away for a new one. Much to Roch’s horror, he is sent the blue and white sweater of the rival Toronto Maple Leafs, dreaded and hated foes to his beloved team. How can Roch face the other kids at the rink?Clancy with the puck
