From Soccer to Snowballs

This collection of poetry celebrates all types of sports (from soccer, baseball, tennis, football, basketball and even snowball fights). It attempts to portray what it is like to experience these sports, in all their forms. Sometimes it's about the special emotion we have for our favorite ball or pair of cleats. At times, it's hitting the winning shot, others its sitting on the bench, watching others win. Or maybe its just the fun of play. All these things are captured in this short book of poems.

Written by middle school students for a special class during Bethany Christian's J-Term.

"It sinks through with grace, even misses with dignity."
