Gr 2–4—For coaches, caregivers, and teachers seeking to steer sore losers toward good sportsmanship, these books will be a boon. Real-world examples of desired qualities are provided via role model athletes. For example, in Citizenship, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry give back in truly inspiring ways. (Brees helped rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and Curry brings mosquito nets to people in areas prone to malaria outbreaks.) After perusing these volumes, players will feel compelled to bring kindness onto the field. In addition, follow-up questions in each volume encourage readers to deepen their connection to the concepts. VERDICT A thoughtful series to encourage sportsmanship among hyper-competitive kids. Sure to be a hit with teachers and students.
