HOOPS IN HEAVEN - New Release for Spring!
Hoops in Heaven
What if the perfect basketball game really existed?
When the game doesn’t go his way, one young player feels discouraged and small. But instead of giving up, he closes his eyes and imagines something amazing, a place where every shot goes in, every teammate shares the ball, and everyone belongs.
In this heartfelt and imaginative basketball story for kids, readers are taken on a journey to a world where the game is fair, fun, and full of confidence. But when the dream ends, and the real game begins again, something surprising happens... Maybe the real court isn’t so different after all.
This inspiring children’s sports book helps kids:
- Build confidence in sports and in themselves
- Learn teamwork and good sportsmanship
- Handle losing and disappointment
- Develop a growth mindset and resilience
Great for:
- Kids who love basketball and sports stories
- Teachers using SEL (social-emotional learning) books
- Parents encouraging confidence and perseverance
- Classrooms exploring teamwork, fairness, and inclusion
With humor, imagination, and relatable moments (yes, even those embarrassing sideline cheers from Mom), Playing Hoops in Heaven reminds young readers that the best part of the game isn’t winning, it’s playing, growing, and believing in yourself.
