A quiet voice can still be a big voice.
Maya Morales is one of the smartest soccer players at Riverside Rec Center. She sees the field, makes the right pass, and helps her team in quiet ways - but when it is time to take the big shot, Maya is afraid everyone will notice if she misses.
With help from Coach Rosa and her teammates, Maya learns that confidence is not about never feeling scared. It is about trying anyway, trusting your voice, and showing up with heart.
Maya Steps Up is Book 6 in the Big Heart, Big Game series - heartwarming sports stories for kids ages 5-8. Perfect for young soccer players, bedtime reading, and families looking for encouraging stories about confidence, courage, teamwork, and resilience.
Big heart first. Big game follows.
