Can't wait to sell this basketball gem! I love the expressive mean mug "game faces" on the back of the book and between the covers--the scrunched eyebrows and firm mouths. The lyrical, bouncing prose follows a kid as they psych themselves up to volunteer to play the winner of the basketball game currently happening on the outdoor court. This book would make a great pair with CROWN, and not just because it too features a barbershop: they both center the self-confidence and -assurance of black boys. Lovely colors, lovely movement, lovely message.
