Before I had my twin sons, I was an elementary school teacher and then a literacy interventionist. Over time, I continued to see a pattern with some of my students, particularly the ones where reading was a bit of a struggle. They would choose a book to read that was either too hard or there were few pictures. Finding books that were in their wheelhouse grade-level wise as well as ones that held their interest was challenging. Once those students started to graduate from emergent chapter books into harder text, there were even fewer pictures. This made their reading rely heavily on the visualizing component of reading. So why this Series? Why this book? The answer is simple, I am trying to write the books my kids would want to read. If they, or my former students, were strolling at the library and picking up a book, I’d hope this one would make the cut! This book has allowed me the creative freedom to put my experience both as a teacher and athlete on paper and run with it. My goal is to engage readers with a fun story with underlying life messages in each one.
