Adapted from Jon Gordon's bestseller The Hard Hat, The Hard Hat for Kids is a story that teaches children how to be a great teammate. Mickey is a spunky talented basketball lover who has always dreamed about playing on her school's team. On the first day of practice, she learns of a special award given to the best teammate—and soon discovers that there is a big difference between being the best player and being the best teammate. What follows is an unforgettable story about selflessness, loyalty, hard work, and compassion, and a clear lesson on putting the team first.
