I Got Next by Daria Peoples-Riley
4.0

Age: Preschool-2nd grade
Sports: Basketball
Author identity: Mixed

A boy's shadow amps him up in order to do his best on the neighborhood court. A fantastic way to show that motivation and perseverance can come from within and the power of a positive self-image. The dialogue is perfect for reading-aloud and audience participation. I would love to see a room full of kids put on their GAME FACE.
