Overview

What happens when a seven-year-old girl picks up a golf club for the very first time? Magic - and a ball that bounces sideways into a garden hose. Lily Swings for the Green is a 10-chapter chapter book for girls ages 6 to 8, following Lily Chen on her journey from complete beginner to junior tournament competitor. Guided by her wise and patient grandfather, Grandpa Wei, and supported by her new best friend Sofia, Lily discovers that golf is about so much more than hitting a ball. It is about honesty - counting every stroke, even when the numbers are big. It is about resilience - coming back after the worst round of your life and playing the very next shot with fresh eyes. It is about respect - for the course, for your fellow players, and for yourself. And it is about the quiet, powerful joy of getting better at something you love, one practice session at a time. Along the way, Lily learns to read the break on a putting green, escape a sand bunker, manage her emotions when things go wrong, and compete in her first junior golf tournament with courage and integrity. Perfect for early chapter book readers, young sports fans, families who play golf, and anyone who believes that girls can do anything they set their minds to. Themes include: perseverance, honesty, sportsmanship, friendship, self-confidence, and the love of the outdoors.
