Bys: Jackson, Ashanti and Jackson, Danny

Put Your Game Face On is an inspiring, action-packed picture book that uses the excitement of basketball to teach children how to face everyday challenges with courage, confidence, and grit.

Meet the Jackson kids-young athletes who love the game but are still learning what it means to stay strong when things don't go their way. When missed shots happen, pressure builds, or a bad call feels unfair, Mom and Dad remind them that basketball is about more than points on a scoreboard. It's about building character, staying focused, and showing up with a determined mindset-no matter what.

Through relatable moments on and off the court, young readers will discover powerful lessons about:

Handling setbacks with confidenceStaying focused under pressurePracticing perseverance when things get toughLearning from mistakes and trying againLeaning on family support and encouragement

With colorful illustrations and thought-provoking discussion questions at the end, Put Your Game Face On is more than a story-it's a practical tool for helping kids build resilience, strengthen self-belief, and develop a winning attitude for life.

Perfect for parents, teachers, coaches, mentors, and caregivers who want to encourage children to dream big, work hard, and keep going-on the court and beyond.
