Everyday heroes are always open to new experiences! The Sunshine Squad learns about trying new things.

Mia is so good at basketball, but how about trying new things? Not so much. When a new girl, Amelia, shows up to play, Mia sticks with the team she knows-but it turns out that Amelia has a thing or two to teach Mia. Not only is Amelia a good basketball player, she also makes crazy-cool inventions! She’ll fit right in with the Sunshine Squad as their resident inventor. The back of the book includes info how children can be open to new ideas and new people.
