🏃‍♂️ About the Book

Harold trips over his own feet just five metres from the finish line in front of the whole school, testing his resolve to get back up and finish the race.

Harold Mitchell is nine years old, and he is determined to finally win a ribbon at the Bondi Primary Sports Day. But when a spectacular, slow-motion tumble leaves him eating dirt, he has to make a split-second choice: stay down, or stand up.

This is the story of what happens when you fail publicly, and the hilarious, dusty reality of learning that true grit isn't about coming first—it's about not stopping.

The SEL Focus: Perseverance & Grit Target Age: 8–9 (Arc 1: The Foundation Years)
