About this audiobook
A young girl learns how to manage her emotions and channel her tennis hero, Arthur Ashe, in the new book by Geisel Award-winning creator James Yang.
A young girl loves to play tennis with her father. And dreams of being like her hero, Arthur Ashe. But sometimes her brain feels like it's bouncing, just like a tennis ball. And it's hard not to lose her temper. Dad reminds her that being a tennis star is about how you act both on and off the court.
Geisel Award–winning author and illustrator James Yang has created an unforgettable story about the power we have over our emotions when we take a deep breath, focus, and swing!
