Produktbeschreibung

Empowering. Heartwarming. Inspirational in its application of life lessons to sports. To advance a level in gymnastics, Adeline must join a team in a new gym. She expects the greatest challenge will be meeting her goals of achieving her skills and scoring high. But when kindhearted Adeline meets two unwelcoming teammates, they give her the jitters, shake her confidence, and trigger a tumble of emotions. The educational value in this fictional sports book for tweens centers around the adjustments a young girl makes in competitive gymnastics and the life lessons she learns. Adeline's perseverance steers the young reader in learning the importance of: working hard to achieve goals, dreaming big while bravely accepting challenges, and finding emotional and mental strength. At the same time, by the very nature of prosocial behavior, Adeline's virtues of kindness, empathy, and compassion will likely be instilled in the reader.

Autorenporträt

A retired school psychologist, Martha Louise writes children's stories to encourage prosocial behavior, hoping to instill kindness, empathy, and compassion in our young. Martha lives on one of Florida's barrier islands between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. She has three grown daughters-two have scattered to Chicago and Ireland, and one recently moved back to Florida. When her children were younger, they were active in sports and the arts, and Martha includes their challenges in her true-to-life fictional stories. The author hopes her writing will help children gain strength and confidence in case they encounter similar circumstances. For additional information, visit her website: MarthaLouise.net
