The Game Goes Around
Bea has a plan for the empty space beside her football court: collect games on her travels and bring them home for a sports day everyone can join. With her friend Leo, she tries cricket in Mumbai, badminton in Seoul, and basketball in Toronto. Each new game brings a new way to begin—and a chance to learn by trying.
But Bea’s notebook strap snaps, and the cards holding her rules and drawings are soon scattered by the wind. Without them, can she still make a sports day where everyone feels welcome? Bea must decide what matters most: perfect plays, or finding a starting place for each new player.
The Game Goes Around is a warm picture-book story for ages 5–8 about curiosity, persistence, and making room for others. Young readers can cheer Bea through her missed shots and small successes, while the lively sports moments invite a joyful read-aloud and a conversation about how friends help one another join in.
