The Highest Number in the World de Roy MacGregor
It's a shame, but there aren't too many books that have what this one has. A female athlete (a hockey player!) who freaks out because she can't be number 22 anymore. The number trauma ends up bringing her closer to her grandma. Great storytelling and illustrations. I have to say, when I played softball and volleyball my jersey number was important to me, so I sympathized with Gabe and was happy for her when she came around to number 9.
Too much of a personal reminisce on what is truly an epic story of our whole nation. I was disappointed and decided part way through that I've got better things to read. Jan 2017
In America, I don't see many kids books about hockey -- soccer, yes, hockey, not so much -- so reading this one was a refreshing change of pace. Roy MacGregor and Geneviève Després did a great job at making the book appealing for both girls and boys. Sure, the main character, Gabe, is a girl, but the colors in the artwork and the sport of hockey are anything but girly!
There are some good lessons in here, too, including overcoming disappointment and the better opportunities girls have for playing sports today compared to when their grandmas were girls.
(I have to admit I don't know much about hockey or hockey players, but I know more now after reading The Highest Number in the World! )
