Description

A Book About Good Sportmanship.

"But I HATE losing! GEEEEZE!"

Wendell HAS to win at everything, and if he doesn't, he whines about it. When Wendell has one of those days where nothing seems to go his way, his mom helps him understand that everything in life doesn't have to be a contest and losing does not make you a loser. In fact, it can make you stronger! She also points out that although it feels great to celebrate a win, winning isn't everything, and whining about things just makes it worse.

"Whiners aren't winners, and winners never whine.You can't win at everything all of the time!"

This creative story addresses two very challenging topics: winning and whining.

Reviews

Just when I pride myself (an elementary school counselor for 30+ years) on owning and sharing EVERY Julia Cook book with my students, she writes yet another superb book that no counselor, parent, teacher, caregiver, coach, etc. can be without! This wonderful book is for everyone helping children acquire a sense of intrinsic motivation and develop better ways to act.

This is a comprehensive social story about flexibility and sensitivity. It helped my autistic son who would find it hard to tolerate not winning. What helped the most is the ditty "winners don't whine and whiners never win". It's catchy and can easily be recollected in daily situations to recollect the lessons of the book.
