In the first picture book written by and based on real-life tennis
star Bianca Andreescu, a young athlete learns how to work through life's
toughest moments through inner strength and meditation.
From the moment she wakes up, Bibi is very busy. Even before school
begins, there are cartwheels to do, world records to break (38 minutes
balancing a spoon on your nose), and her dog, Coco, to snuggle. Bibi's
mother suggests she try a sport, but nothing feels right. Until she
tries tennis. On the court, she feels strong and powerful. Her serve is
like lightning, her backhand booms like thunder and her forehand is as
fierce as a hurricane. But one day, everything changes when she is
injured on the playground. Bibi is heartbroken, sad, frustrated and
angry -- she decides to quit tennis! But her mother, with a little help
from Coco, shows her how to meditate and dispel the self-doubt and
negativity. Bibi learns to focus on all the things that make her
grateful and happy. And when her body is ready to go back to tennis, so
is her mind. "Now every morning, I picture myself strong and powerful on
the court. Just me and the fuzzy ball."
