My MVP and Me: Based on a True Story

by Lisa Locklin, Amanda Ravensdale

Overview

Four-year-old Ross admires his older cousin, Eric, and wants to be just like him. And for good reason-Eric is an excellent role model, a superhero in Ross's eyes. In My MVP and Me, Ross asks his mom to make him just like Eric. With a little help from his mom, Ross learns that the activities he enjoys with Eric such as playing football, body-slamming, and laughing are just a small part of what it means to be an MVP. Ross learns that he can follow the example of Eric's attitudes and actions without being just like him in every way: heroes come in all shapes, sizes, and colors!
