The Day I Missed The Ball (Growing Up)

By Mr Nick Cummins

What happens when you're left out... but find a new way to shine?

Noah knows how it feels to miss the ball - and to be left behind. After an embarrassing mistake during a school game, he's excluded by classmates and left questioning where he belongs. But everything begins to change when Noah discovers something he's really good at: swimming.

With the support of a true friend and the courage to keep going, Noah learns an important lesson - not everyone shines on the sports field... and that's okay. Everyone belongs somewhere. You just have to find your water.

The Day I Missed the Ball is a heartfelt story about friendship, resilience, and discovering your unique strengths.

Perfect for ages 5-10, this inspiring book helps children:

: Build self-confidence

: Cope with exclusion and disappointment

: Recognize their own talents and strengths
