Today is Sports Day. I CAN'T WAIT! And as I know that I'll be great, I've planned how I will celebrate—because I'm going to win.

Our heroine is determined that she's going to win all the events at school sports day. The problem is that winning isn't as easy as it looks. She doesn't win the running race or the tug of war—and she can't even win a dancing contest. But perhaps winning isn't really the point.

A joyful picture book with an important message from the author and illustrator of I Really Want the Cake.
