Why Ball Wouldn't Bounce named to Best Children's Books of All Time and Best New Children's Books to Read in 2020 Lists by BookAuthority.org.
There once was a ball,
As some may recall,
Who spent most the day all alone,
Trying to hide the bounce inside
Without any friends of his own.
Ball so desperately wants to bounce like all the popular balls. He tries everything to fit in but nothing stops the others from laughing. Deflated, he rolls away to hide his bounce and his tears. But Ball soon meets the unlikeliest of new best friends who gives him a birds-eye view of what it really means to be unique and find your place in the world.
Why Ball Wouldn't Bounce is a tale about embracing and celebrating your unique qualities, not having to change who you are and how finding true friends isn't about having the same bounce but having the same desire to bounce.
Eventually, Ball is faced with an astonishing revelation that will change his life forever. Find out Why Ball Wouldn't Bounce and whether he stays hidden away or learns to bounce his own bounce proudly.
