May I Be on Your Team? introduces readers to Benny, a bright, determined young boy who loves basketball. His wheelchair has been part of his life for as long as he can remember, but so has his love for the game-its energy, its rhythm, and its joy. Benny studies basketball like a pro, practices for hours, and dreams big. Yet at the neighborhood court, where laughter abounds and teams are formed, he always finds himself on the sidelines, unseen and unchosen in his wheelchair.
When Benny bravely asks, May I be on your team? he is met with hesitation, doubt, and the fear of the unfamiliar. But Benny's courage-and a powerful video of wheelchair basketball athletes-begins to open eyes and change hearts. With determination and kindness, Benny helps his peers understand what inclusion really means: seeing ability, not limitation; welcoming differences, not fearing them.
As Benny finally gets his chance on the court, his skill and spirit shine, surprising even the toughest skeptics. Through teamwork, empathy, and understanding, all the children discover that including someone different can strengthen the team.
This uplifting story celebrates resilience, acceptance, and the power of saying yes to someone who simply wants to belong. May I Be on Your Team? leaves readers with an inspiring message: everyone deserves a chance to play, to be included, and to be valued for who they are.
