Fair Play Is Always the Right Way
Austin loves playing flag football for the Trentwood Tigers. There is only one problem. His team has lost six games in a row, and he doesn’t like losing. At his next game, Austin’s teammate has a plan to trick the other team. It works, but Austin knows his team cheated to win.
Coach Tony and Coach Lauren remind Austin the most important thing about football isn’t winning—it’s playing fair. When his team takes the field for their next game, will Austin choose to cheat again, or will he stand up for what’s right? What would you do if you were in Austin’s shoes?

Maria Finds Courage and Austin Plays Fair are two wonderful children’s books that embrace childhood struggles. They don’t have the typical happy ever after ending; they offer so much more.
Both books address the fears and struggles young children are confronted with and allow them to realize they are not alone.
I highly recommend that both of these books be offered to schools, child psychologists, and families. Children need to understand challenges they face and how to deal with them. Both of these books realistically address children’s issues and I hope they plans on a complete series of them.
