Finding a place on the team

Leap is eager to join a dogsled team, but watching the other dogs’ distinct strengths leaves her wondering what she brings to it. The story connects her search for a personal strength with the role each member can play in a community. Its dogsled setting gives that idea a concrete frame, while an author’s note with photos links the picture-book story to the real-life Leap and her teammates.

Book overview

Based on bestselling author and award-winning dogsledder Blair Braverman's real-life team of sled dogs! An adorable sled dog discovers the power of teamwork, self-acceptance, and never giving up in this debut picture book.

"Dogsled racer Braverman's sweet narrative builds a satisfying case for individuality as a community asset. [Olivia] When's illustrations are...peerless.An absolute pleasure."--Kirkus (STARRED REVIEW)

Leap is a sweet, snow-loving sled dog puppy who can't wait until she's big enough to join the team. Each of the other sled dogs is special in their own way. Boo is fast. Donut is brave. Jenga is smart. And Leap wonders: Is she special, too?

This empowering story reminds us that anything is possible when teamwork, individuality, and friendship grow in leaps and bounds.

Includes an author's note with photos of the real-life Leap and her teammates!
