Mom's Surprise Podium - Paperback

When DaQari discovers a dusty box of medals and trophies hidden in Grandma's attic, he uncovers an incredible secret-his mom was a track-and-field champion! But when he learns her achievements were never honored at her old school, DaQari and his dad set out on a mission of love, teamwork, and determination to celebrate the champion right in their own home.

Inspired by true events, Mom's Surprise Podium is a heartwarming children's picture book about resilience, family pride, and the power of recognizing the people we love. As DaQari learns about his mom's struggles with school, her gifted coach, her record-breaking victories, and her unforgettable track-sisters, he discovers what it truly means to honor someone's journey.

Perfect for readers ages 6-10, this uplifting story encourages children to believe in themselves, celebrate others, and understand that the greatest victories aren't always won on the field-they're built at home, where love shines brightest.

With themes of perseverance, family values, sports inspiration, and recognizing unsung heroes, Mom's Surprise Podium is ideal for classrooms, family reading time, and children learning about confidence, gratitude, and overcoming challenges.
