Description

A powerful story about turning differences into strengths.

Jo-Jo the duck-billed platypus loves sports--especially lacrosse. But when he joins the team, his short legs make it hard to keep up, and some of his teammates tease him for not running fast enough.

Jo-Jo begins to wonder if he will ever succeed on the field.

Then a magical trip to the theater changes everything. Watching a ballet performance filled with soaring leaps and spinning dancers gives Jo-Jo a surprising idea--what if dance could help him play lacrosse?

With determination and creativity, Jo-Jo begins combining ballet moves with his lacrosse skills. Soon he discovers that the very thing that made him different might be exactly what helps him succeed.

Jo-Jo Soars and Scores! is an uplifting picture book about perseverance, confidence, and finding your own way to shine.

Perfect for children ages 4-8 who love sports, animals, and stories about believing in themselves.
