Description

Do your kids need a little help learning to compete kindly? How to win and lose well? From New York Times best-selling author and Proverbs 31 Ministries founder Lysa TerKeurst comes a lively picture book about sportsmanship.

Lulu and Max have planned an exciting field day for their animal friends, and the winner will be the leader of the forest. But sore losers, bragging winners, and bad attitudes are taking the fun straight out of the contests! Just when the day seems ruined, someone steps in and turns things around. Finally, Lulu and Max must decide who will be leader of the forest. Their choice is a big surprise, but it feels just right.

Through Lulu’s love for her animal friends—no matter what—children will discover that their value comes from who they are, not how they perform. This gentle and playful story will help kids develop the skills they need to win at the most important parts of life: friendship and forgiveness.
