Big Game

Big Game

Your child is the smallest one on the field, with one job from the coach: hold on. By the end of the big game, they’ll be the one passing that job on to someone even smaller. A big-hearted story about courage, teamwork, and growing into your jersey.

It’s your child’s very first day with the Bluebirds, and they’re the smallest one in the huddle - the jersey comes down to the knees and the ball is almost too big to hug. The coach gives them one job: when the ball comes, hold on. At practice, they run as fast as they can... the wrong way. But they’re still holding on. Then comes the big game, a whole field shouting one name, and a moment your child will never let go of.

  • Parent value: You don’t have to be the biggest or the best on day one. You just have to keep holding on, and one day you’ll be the one helping someone smaller.
  • Child takeaway: I’m small, and I’m new. But I can hold on.

  3. The adventure begins. Page by page they are brave, kind and curious, learning life's gentle lessons along the way.

Loved by our customers

“My son is the smallest kid on his soccer team. This book is about the smallest kid on the team holding on. He read it, got quiet, then said 'I can do that.'”
“The jersey down to his knees and the ball bonking off his head - he laughed so hard. Then the 'RUN!' page and he was on his feet.”
“The ending where he kneels down to roll up a smaller kid's sleeves is the whole reason I bought it. That's the kid I'm trying to raise.”
“Coach dad here. 'One job. When the ball comes, hold on.' I've started saying it at practice. The kids think I made it up.”
“Ella is the only girl on her team and was feeling small in every way. Seeing herself score in her own book changed her week.”
“He's not sporty, I'm not sporty, and we still love this. It's about being brave when you're little, which is every kid.”
“Grandparents bought it after his first game. The dedication says 'you held on.' He's four and already knows what that means.”
“The crowd, the goalposts getting bigger, the big kids in red - the pictures move. And his face is unmistakably his.”
