Animals in Austin, Texas Team Armadillo, (Paperback)

<p><em>Team Armadillo</em> is a funny and thoughtful story about friendship, big feelings, and finding the courage to join in with others when the world feels overwhelming.</p><p></p><p>The girls on Team Armadillo are not into sports. They don't wear uniforms, practice drills, or run laps. In fact, most of the time, they sit on the carpet in Mr. Garcia's office, playing board games and pretending not to care about making friends. Hanging back feels safer. Quiet is easier. And staying in their own little bubble works just fine.</p><p></p><p>But when Field Day is announced, everything gets a little more complicated. The races sound intense. The crowd will be huge. The rules feel confusing. And worst of all, the girls won't even be on the same team. Suddenly, the day they've been avoiding is coming fast, and the panic starts to build.</p><p></p><p>That's when Mr. Garcia introduces them to a creature who knows a thing or two about big feelings: the Texas armadillo. With its tough outer shell and cautious way of moving through the world, the armadillo becomes a surprising guide for kids who feel like they need a little extra protection.</p><p></p><p>Perfect for children who are shy, anxious, or slow to warm up, <em>Team Armadillo</em> reminds readers that bravery doesn't always look loud. Sometimes it looks like showing up anyway.</p>
