  • “My Papa Plays Pickleball" is a picture book that will warm your heart. There’s always something special about a grandfather and grandson book. But what could be better than teaching and sharing a popular sport like pickleball? Highly recommend for the home or classroom library. 5 stars!”

My Papa Plays Pickleball is a delightful story that encourages children to try new things and spend quality time with their loved ones. Children will be introduced to the game of pickleball and learn the basics of how to play it. The book conveys important lessons on perseverance, friendship, and family bonding, emphasizing the value of patience and sharing knowledge. There is something truly beautiful about the connection between a grandparent and a grandchild as they create lasting memories through shared activities. Ashley K. beautifully captures this special relationship and the excitement of learning new skills. The colorful illustrations bring the story to life, and I loved the small details in the art like the red lobster, birds that appear in the pages, and Papa's hat that shares the profound message about believing. This is a wonderful story, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Great work!”
