“We need more of this and we need to buy Shelly Bean the Sports Queen books and have them in our book stores, in our libraries…we need these everywhere!”

Cheryl Greene

“I work with elementary educators across the country and what is sorely needed are books that show kids a mirror to see themselves reflected. Shelly Bean the Sports Queen does just that. The diversity of the characters and a strong athletic female lead, coupled with excellent story telling makes this series really one of a kind.”

”We normally have a difficult time getting our active 2 y/o to sit still through an entire book. We bought 5 Shelly Bean books now and Madison actually asks to read! It's so cool!”

“We all have had strong female role models in our lives. Our future generations are counting on Shelly Bean the Sports Queen to lead the way for our next generation of leaders. I grew up reading children's books, but not any who looked like me. A strong, powerful, tough and driven young girl, I would have loved Shelly Bean in my life. She creates a diverse character, as more adults pick up the books aimed at young readers.”

Boys and girls need to see active, confident, sporty female role models as central characters, and Shelly Bean provides just that!
