Pick It Up and Take a Spin

Jabari Jumps meets The Magical Yet in this infectiously optimistic and rhythmic picture book that will inspire children to give it a whirl and try again (and again).
A little girl loves to watch the big kids play hula hoop. She wants nothing more than to sway and swirl like them one day.
So, she picks one up, gives it a whirl… and the hoop falls to the ground before she knows it.
Thwump! Clatter clatter!
And even though she picks it up repeatedly, she can’t seem to get the hoop to whirl. Then something magical happens on the last try that changes her forever.
This sweet picture book is perfect for anyone with a dream who is determined to never give up.
