Marcus had a bad day on the footy field, but maybe his Nonna's birthday lunch will cheer him up.

Marcus loves visiting his Nonna, although he's afraid of her spooky cellar. Marcus has never been down there, and he never will. But when disaster strikes, Little Bont might have to face his fear to save Nonna's birthday dessert...

From Western Bulldogs' captain and four-time club Best & Fairest winner Marcus Bontempelli comes a heartwarming story about courage, family... and of course, a little bit of footy.

Little Bont's Brave Play is a delightful tale that both children and adults will enjoy.
