Must Win Matilda

Must Win Matilda by Steph Rose, author & illustrator

The girls rush a toe to the starting line.

Matilda leans forward…

“Pretty soon I’ll leave all these runners behind!”

But is winning everything?

This children’s book is for kids who desire to win at all costs, helping them to realize that being a good friend is more rewarding than winning first place.

Dive into this muddy book to find out what Matilda learns about being a true winner!

Must Win Matilda has colourful illustrations, clever rhyming, and it’s a great story about sportsmanship! Kids will explore how they can be kind in the heat of competition.

Don’t stop there!! Children can discuss with each other and/or adults how they think they can be kind while competing. What do they think of Matilda’s actions? How would it make her competitors feel? What causes her to change her mind and help a fellow runner?
