Bravo, Tavo!

By Brian Meunier, Perky Edgerton, Eden O'Neill

Tavo, named for his father Gustavo, plays basketball so much that his sneakers are worn out. His father is too worried about the drought afflicting their small village to focus on replacing them. Gustavo thinks he can solve the water shortage, but the other villagers say he?s crazy. Tavo puts aside basketball to help prove his father right. In return, something miraculous happens to his sneakers, and he?s the hero of the next game. Did the magic come from his shoes, or was it in his heart all along? Brian Meunier?s outstanding storytelling makes this a captivating read-aloud, while Perky Edgerton?s extraordinary paintings make it a visual treat.
