It's Not Fair!: A Garnet Valley Gators Story

By Colin McDonnell

One tiny hop. One HUGE reaction.

Hannah has practiced everything for her big gymnastics meet. Her leaps. Her turns. Her landings. She's even practiced her winning smile.

And when she delivers her best floor routine ever, Hannah is certain she's headed for first place.

Until another gymnast takes one tiny hop... and somehow earns a higher score.

IT'S NOT FAIR

Luckily, the Garnet Valley Gators are there to support her. With Owen cheering, Russell questioning the judges, and Ollie making everyone laugh, Hannah's big day quickly becomes an unforgettable adventure.

But when the medals are handed out, Hannah has a choice: focus on the gold she didn't win or celebrate something she's never accomplished before.

It's Not Fair is a funny, heartwarming, beautifully illustrated children's story about friendship, gymnastics, handling disappointment, and discovering that doing your best can be worth more than winning.

Perfect for:

Children ages 6-8 who love funny, illustrated stories

Young gymnasts and sports-loving kids

Parents looking for meaningful, entertaining read-aloud books

Families teaching sportsmanship, resilience, and handling big emotions

Young readers learning that winning isn't everything

The Garnet Valley Gators are back-and this time, the biggest challenge isn't the competition. It's learning how to lose without losing your smile.
