I really want to win

today is sports day, i can't wait.

and as i know that i'll be great,

i've planned how i will celebrate...

because i'm going to win.

our heroine and her sidekick pup have their eyes on the prize and are ready to find something to win. they compete in a spelling bee, a dancing contest, hide-and-seek, and more in search of a shiny medal. but what will happen if they... don't walk away the winner? playfully tackling themes of competition, good sportsmanship, and being a fair loser (and winner!), i really want to win joyfully reminds readers that, sometimes, winning isn't everything. with rollicking rhyming text from simon philip, bold, expressive illustrations from lucia gaggiotti, and a spunky heroine in the middle of it all, this follow-up to i really want the cake is sure to be a winner!

"a great conversation starter about the frustrations of competition and the search for a personal passion." -- kirkus reviews
