Milo has dreamed of race day for as long as he can remember. But what happens when his first race doesn't go according to plan?
Six-year-old Milo is ready to take the green flag. When one small mistake sends his kart spinning, however, he must decide whether to stop or gather his courage and try again.
Inspired by the real experiences of a kart-racing family, Milo's First Race is a warm, action-filled picture book about perseverance, confidence, and discovering that success is not always measured by where you finish.
Young readers will learn that:
- Mistakes are part of learning
- Courage can mean trying one more time
- Every lap is another opportunity to improve
- Finishing something difficult can be its own victory
The book also includes a Race Journal Challenge where children can draw or write about a time they kept trying when something felt hard.
Perfect for:
- Children ages 3 to 7
- Young kart racers and race fans
- Racing-themed birthdays and gifts
- Families looking for stories about courage and perseverance
Written by racing mom Kristin Farris, Milo's First Race brings the emotions and lessons of a real first race to young readers.
