One brave kick. One frightening accident. One big comeback.
Marc is seven years old and dreams of scoring the goal of his life. But when a daring bicycle kick ends in a split lip and a trip to the hospital, his fear follows him all the way to the dentist's chair.
With Dad by his side and Javi, his trusted dentist, there to listen, Marc discovers that courage does not mean feeling no fear. It means understanding what happened, asking for help, and trying again.
Marc's Bravest Goal! is a warmly illustrated children's picture book that blends the excitement of soccer with emotional resilience and a gentle, reassuring approach to dental anxiety.
Perfect for:
- young soccer players ages 5-9;
- children who feel nervous about dentist visits;
- families talking about fear after an accident;
- coaches, dentists, counselors, and elementary classrooms.
Includes a practical note for families with four simple ways to help children rebuild confidence after a frightening experience.
