Balls to the head, missed goals, and loud parents--soccer is tough! A funny, heartwarming story about soccer, setbacks, and sticking with it.

Our hero wants to quit--but one stubborn leaf inspires her to hang in there in this funny, empowering picture book about perseverance and self-esteem.

A young soccer player is struggling during the fall season. Balls to the head! Loud parents! Missed shots! Sometimes she can't wait to go home. But then she sees one last autumn leaf on a tree, just hanging in there. Can she do the same?

Inspired by the leaf, the girl keeps practicing. Come spring, the leaf is still there--and so is she!

Gorgeous illustrations full of action and humor celebrate resilience and growth mindset. Author/illustrator David Biedrzycki coached his children's soccer teams, so he knows how important it is for kids to hear this message of persistence. Just hang in there!
