When Kelvin hit his summer growth spurt, everyone decided his new height must mean he is going to be a basketball star. There is just one problem. Kelvin has never even held a basketball before, and he has never tried to dribble one either.

With help from his parents, his new friends, and a coach who believes he can do more than he thinks, Kelvin learns that trying something new takes courage, practice, and a willingness to laugh at yourself along the way. This funny, feel-good story about stepping outside your comfort zone, discovering what you are capable of, and finding confidence one bounce at a time.
