Maya's Great Leap: A Story of Gymnastics, Grit, and Believing in Yourself (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798251994803)

Nine-year-old Maya feels right at home at the Flip-Top Gymnastics Center, surrounded by the scent of chalk and the support of her teammates. She's ready to move up to Level 3, but there's one giant obstacle standing in her way: the back handspring. Every time Maya tries to flip, her feet feel like lead and a cold whisper she calls the "I Can't" Monster tells her she isn't strong enough. With the Sunshine Regional tryouts only one week away, the pressure is on. Maya must decide if she will let fear keep her on the sidelines or if she will find the grit to leap into the unknown.

Maya's Great Leap is a heart-warming chapter book that explores the highs and lows of youth sports. Alongside her best friends-the "Monster-Hunters"-Maya discovers that being a champion isn't about winning medals; it's about resilience, friendship, and the courage to keep trying.
