A companion to the Newbery Medal-winning middle grade novel The Crossover, the basis of the show streaming on Disney+!
What can we imagine for our lives? What if we were the star players, moving and grooving through the game of life? What if we had our own rules of the game to help us get what we want, what we aspire to, what will enrich our lives?
Illustrated with photographs by Thai Neave, The Playbook is intended to provide inspiration on the court of life. Each rule contains wisdom from inspiring athletes and role models such as Nelson Mandela, Serena Williams, LeBron James, Carli Lloyd, Steph Curry, and Michelle Obama. Kwame Alexander also shares his own stories of overcoming obstacles and winning games in this motivational and inspirational book for readers of any age and for anyone needing a little bit of encouragement.
You gotta know the rules to play the game. Ball is life. Take it to the hoop. Soar.

Title: Kwame Alexander is Everything
Review: Kwame Alexander is a positive force in children's & young adult literature. He advocates for literacy for all wherever he goes. This alone makes me want to buy everything he writes. Here is a "self-help" book for kids! Through personal narratives, stories of famous athletes, photographs and quotations, this book will inspire young readers. It makes clear that dreams require work and dedication in order to bear fruit. Even so, Alexander does not overwhelm his readers. The page count is a little deceptive, in a good way. Kids feel good about carrying around a book with some heft, but font size, white space and photographs help keep the stories moving at a quick clip. His sense of humor and ability to be self-deprecating as well as self-satisfied appeal to readers of all ages.

Title: My Family's After Dinner Group Read
Review: A great book for teens/tweens who are into sports. This is a great resource to spend 10 minutes a day discussing as a family. Helping kids understand that hard work is the only path to success in sports and life is a great message. Being afraid to fail is very common in young athletes, and absolutely inhibits their growth -- helping them understand that the path to success comes through failure is a key life message.

Title: Great for Sport Fan Boys or anyone coming of age
Review: Both myself and 12 yr old son are fans of Kwame Alexander. Read all of his books for boys coming of age. We purchase his books each year as they are released. I now give as gifts to other boys involved in sports.

Review: Fantastic, inspirational positive writing for all,especially the young people as soon as you open the book it almost drags you in its that inviting with the illustrations and feel of the quality of the book. This will definitely be a book to keep for ever that will be pulled off the shelves time and time again. I Bought it for my 11 year old who loves basketball and his 9 year old brother who is not as interested in books tried to take it to read it causing an argument. It is done in a way where a adult can also relate and get joy. I never realised a book could give so much.
