Fist Bump - Michael L. Williams

This heartwarming children's story follows Max, an energetic eight-year-old who serves as the tee runner for his dad's football team and dreams of being the fastest on the field. On game night, Max feels a deep sense of belonging among the older players-until an embarrassing fall in front of the entire stadium leaves him discouraged. But through the encouragement and humor of his teammates, Max learns an important lesson about resilience, teamwork, and self-worth. With warmth and relatability, the story captures how setbacks don't define us-what matters most is getting back up and knowing you still belong.
