A Hero's First Bounce

By Jerald L Hoover

In the heart of Mount Vernon during the 1950s, three-year-old Bennett Wilson discovers the magic of basketball-and the joy of family love-on the steps of Levister Towers. With a small ball in his hands, curious eyes, and boundless energy, Bennett's world is full of learning, laughter, and life lessons from Mom and Dad.

Told with warmth and charm, A Hero's First Bounce celebrates curiosity, perseverance, and the special moments that shape a child's dreams.

Perfect for children ages 4-8, parents, and educators, this inspiring story is part of The Hero Book Series, an empowering "Grow With Me" collection designed to nurture character, community, and confidence from the earliest years through high school graduation.
