Young Mia loves soccer, but she always wants to be the best — which means that when her family's team starts losing a game she quits right in the middle of it. Her furious exit is so disruptive that the next day, her siblings don't want her to play at all! At first Mia is even more angry, but then she realizes how much she misses playing her favorite game. Can she convince her siblings that she's ready to focus on fun — and on the power of working together as a team?
Mia Hamm, American soccer champion and best-selling author of Go for the Goal, tells a true-life-inspired story of learning that winning and losing aren't as important as being part of a team. She shares this lesson, paired with energetic illustrations by Carol Thompson, in this motivational story perfect for soccer kids and their soccer moms!
