Emma's First Basketball Game : A Story About Courage on the Court
Overview
Every first time takes courage.
Emma has watched her big brother Jesse play basketball for as long as she can remember. Now she has a team of her own and a brand-new jersey. She also has a ball that won't stay in her hands. At her first practice the passes come fast, the other kids seem bigger, and Emma starts to wonder if basketball is for her after all.
Then Coach Lisa kneels down at eye level and tells Emma what every new player needs to hear: everybody drops the ball at first. Emma learns to dribble with soft hands and practices her shot in the driveway with Jesse. On game day she steps onto the court nervous, but ready to try anyway.
Emma's First Basketball Game is a warm, reassuring story for children ages 4 to 8 who are starting a new sport, joining a new team, or facing any first that feels big. It gives parents an easy way to talk about nerves before that first practice. It also shows kids that early mistakes are part of how every player gets better.
It makes a natural gift for a young player's first season. It also fits right alongside Huck, Lucy, Charlie, and Jake in the My First Game series.
