One, Two, Follow Through! Starring Polly Pivot was written by All-American Golfer and Los-Angeles based LGPA Golf Instructor Mary Jacobs.
Polly Pivot is a young girl who loves to play golf. She faces an overwhelming issue when her instructor at camp, Greenskeeper Greenie, tells her and the other students there is only one way to swing her club. While following her gut instinct and being clever and brave, Polly is able to find her way back to her swing. She overcomes obstacles with her forward-thinking and passionate heart, which inspires her friends and teacher, showing them how important it is to stay true to yourself.
With bright and lively drawings from Emmy-award winning illustrator Ron Noble, One, Two, Follow Through! carries both a universal and timeless message for all ages. Children will learn the importance of following their gut instinct and being their best selves through Polly’s eyes. Readers will be moved to see Polly's passion and forward thinking, which helps her overcome the obstacles that overwhelm her. The story will make readers ask questions, think outside the box, and be creative, while also highlighting the inclusiveness of children’s sports. There is no formula to success, however, trusting your natural abilities is the best place to start!
I have a chance to give away a copy of the book. To enter, leave a comment with why golf might make a great sport for kids. Deadline is July 5th.
