You guys. I have been waiting for this moment for over a year. I almost can’t believe it’s finally here. Deep breath, and here it goes: I WROTE A CHILDREN’S BOOK FOR CUBS FANS! My first book ever. It’s called “My First Trip to the Bleachers: Big Feelings at the Cubs Game.” And it’s finally available for pre-sale. You can get your copy at Amazon or Barnes & Noble or Bookshop.org.
I really hope you like it. And I really hope you pre-order a copy!
Pre-Order Right Here!My First Trip to the Bleachers: Big Feelings at The Cubs Game
The story is about a little boy (inspired by my son, Leo!) who gets surprised with a trip to his very first Cubs game. And it follows his journey from getting the tickets, to being stuck in traffic on the way downtown, to reaching his seats, experiencing “the troughs” for the first time, making friends in the bleachers, getting nervous about the game, eating snacks, throwing the other team’s home run balls back on the field, singing Go, Cubs, Go! (spoiler alert), and so much more!
The primary intention of this book, of course, is to entertain any little one in your life. With a three-year-old and an almost-one-year-old of my own, I know these stories and illustrations need to keep their attention from start to finish. But it’s also to prepare them for the emotional and sensory roller coaster of an experience like going to Wrigley Field for the very first time.
This book explores all of those feelings and senses (joy, anxiety, pride, community, disgust, hunger, boredom, etc.) so that when you finally take your kids, nieces, nephews, etc., they might know what to expect!
More specifically, I took a lesson from the world of Mr. Rogers (via Daniel Tiger … the parents out there know what I’m talking about), who wisely sang: When we do something new, let’s talk about what you’ll do!
When you talk about what your kids can expect from a new experience, it can help reduce anxiety and fear, build confidence, and set goals. We’ve done this a bunch with our kids for the dentist or the movie theater, and it makes a huge difference.
I am hopeful that this book can do the same for you and the kids in your life
Pre-Order Right Here!So, please, pre-order a copy today! Aside from all the value I hope it provides for children, there are plenty of inside jokes and easter eggs for real Cubs (and Bleacher Nation) fans out there.
I want to add a special Thank You to three people: My wife, Danielle, for helping me find the true soul of this book. My illustrator, Nora, who is AWESOME and was great to work with. And BN’s Tab Bamford, who helped put me in contact with the publisher, Triumph. You can also get one of Tab’s most recent books right here: The Future: Connor Bedard and The Chicago Blackhawks’ New Era.
P.S. We will be doing a launch party for this book at Murphy’s in early April! So keep an eye out for that!
