Overview

Does your daughter dream of running fast, making new friends, and discovering a sport she truly loves? Sticks, Goals, and Girl Power: A Young Girl's Journey Into Lacrosse follows seven-year-old Maya as she stumbles upon her aunt's dusty old lacrosse stick in the garage and discovers the sport that will change her life. From her very first nervous tryout to the final whistle of the season's last game, Maya learns that becoming an athlete is about far more than catching and throwing. It's about perseverance when things get hard, the power of a team that lifts each other up, the courage to speak when it matters, and the quiet pride that comes from giving everything you have. Along the way she meets an unforgettable cast of teammates-big-hearted Jess, groundball queen Priya, the quietly fierce goalkeeper Samantha, and struggling newcomer Chloe, who needs exactly the kind of help that only a true teammate can give. Written for girls ages 6-8, this chapter storybook celebrates athletic ambition, emotional resilience, friendship, and the joy of showing up even when you are not sure you are ready. Each chapter is the perfect length for a bedtime read-aloud or an independent reading session, and every chapter leaves young readers with something real to think about: how to handle a hard day, how to be a good teammate, how to keep going when you fall. Perfect for: young sports fans, lacrosse families, school and public library collections, reluctant readers who love action and heart, and any girl who has ever wondered if she is good enough to try something new. Spoiler: she is.
