Braylond Henderson loves football more than anything, feeling the ball in his hands, hearing the roar of the crowd, and making big plays on game day. But the person who cheers the loudest, his Grandma, starts to slow down and spend more time inside. When she passes away, Braylond’s world feels different, heavy, and quiet.
Through his grief, Braylond discovers that love doesn’t disappear, it stays in your heart and can become your greatest strength. With determination, practice, and the memory of Grandma cheering him on, he learns to play harder, lead with heart, and find joy in the game again.
The Light in His Game is a heartfelt, uplifting story about love, loss, and finding courage, showing children that the people we love are always with us in spirit, cheering us on every step of the way.
In the back of this book are a few activity pages that helped Braylond when he was feeling sad. You can draw pictures, write your thoughts, and answer questions along the way.
