The Mighty Lions and the Big Match: What If We Don't Win?Paperback, 27 July 2021

Award-winning barber, author, public speaker and international educator, Tom Chapman makes his children's book debut!

Abel, his brother Drake and the rest of the Mighty Lions have made it to the final match against the Tigers. They know they have to win the cup, especially because their coach, the fans and their parents all expect it of them. But with the stakes getting higher as the game progresses, it becomes too much for the young footballers and they crack under the pressure.

They don't win the match and are seriously disappointed in themselves. Worse, they're worried they've let everyone down.

This important picture book portrays the incredible pressure that kids - and especially boys - can face on the sports pitch, and discusses how it needs to be addressed, for the sake of the young players' mental health.

Tom Chapman is the charismatic founder of The Lions Barber Collective, a charity that promotes suicide prevention and awareness, which focusses on men's and boys' mental health.
