A

Not every kid can be a professional athlete, but they can learn the great life lessons from the following storybooks about sports.

Soccer Star

Age:4-8

Young Paulo Marcelo Feliciano dreams of becoming a super soccer player, but his little sister, to whom he teaches soccer moves every day, shines after a key player’s injury. Soccer Star teaches acceptance and celebrates Brazil’s diverse culture and the hope of the poor for a better future.

Tillie the Terrible Swede

Age:5-8

Tillie Anderson tore up her fancy lady’s dress and sewed herself a cycling outfit that had both good form and function. The tight-fitting get up allowed her to become a world champion racer when most women were admired for their graceful dancing, and proved long before Lance Armstrong that you didn’t need to be male to rule the cycling world.

Jim Thorpe’s Bright Path

 

Age:6-9

Jim Thorpe was a native American who overcame discrimination to become one of America’s best athletes winning gold medals at the 1912 Olympics. He was also all-American and professional football player, and played professional baseball and basketball. So, he deserves to be your kid’s first sport hero.

America’s Champion Swimmer: Gertrude Ederle

Age:4-7

Not only did Trudy Ederle win 3 Olympic medals at age 17, she was also the first woman to swim across the 20-mile English Channel. And she did it in world-record time, challenging 1920s conventions that expected women to stay at home. The next time your kid says that some classmates of theirs shouldn’t be allowed on their team, tell them to talk to Trudy.

Do you like fishing? Have you ever put a fish back into the water after catching it? What made you decide to do this？

One day, two fishermen were fishing in a pond (池塘). Both of them were looking forward to getting a big catch. The first fisherman caught a big and beautiful fish within a few minutes. He was very happy. He put the fish in his icebox. He would cook it in the afternoon. Soon, the second fisherman also caught a large fish. Surprisingly, he threw it back into the pond. Later，he caught many more big fish，only to throw them back into the water again and again.

The first fisherman was surprised and asked, “Why are you throwing the fish back into the water? They were beautiful and big!” The second fisherman answered, “I know they were big, but I don’t have a big enough pan (平底锅) to cook big fish! So I’m looking for a smaller fish that fits my cooking pan.” The first fisherman was surprised by the answer. He told the second fisherman that he could just cut the big fish into smaller pieces to fit them into the small pan.

Many of us are just like the second fisherman. We don't think carefully and this sometimes causes us to lose a chance.
