Based on Mr. James Promise School, this is a story that teaches children to set goals - make promises to themselves.

Reviewing as a part of my Fall 2020 kids' books reviews!
This is a really good primer on just being a good person. It's a bunch of promises, to no one in particular but probably just ones self, that really feel like mantras to be a cooperative, kind, passionate human, and to encourage kids to stay in school. With a very slight basketball theme.
The illustrations are great too, and geared for contemporary, diverse, real classrooms.
Hardcover from my place of work, Oxford Exchange in Tampa, Florida.

I loved this. I read this to my summer camp as a read aloud and they were happy.
I enjoyed the rich illustrations and the message the book conveys to the readers.

This book is so great. I look forward to recommending it to my library families and kiddos. The illustrations are GORGEOUS and the message is such an important one for all children.

This was another Libro.fm ALC listen for me, and while quick I enjoyed it, imaging how kids might really enjoy hearing from a sports figure that they look up to. Again, I am sure that seeing the images would make the experience much more powerful than listening to it, but it was still an enjoyable listen with a positive message.
