Through playful dialogue and vivid illustrations, Tied to Greatness inspires young male readers to learn about their own special gifts, talents, and interests outside of sports and how they fit into their future as they grow, explore, and begin to imagine successful careers for themselves while understanding the importance of dressing for success.From early on, young boys love competition and sports. Many of them are aspiring athletes and only envision a future playing sports at a professional level. Discovering their place in the world of professional careers, wearing a suit and tie, and advanced opportunities outside of a ball in hand is foreign to some young populations.
There is more to life than playing with a ball. The assurance that one's personal hobbies and talents can make a difference along with learning of various career choices in the world is certain to open up the minds of young boys to other possibilities.
Tied to Greatness inspires young readers to learn about their own special gifts and how they fit into major career choices as they grow, explore, and begin to create and reimagine life for themselves with a firm handshake, confidence, and a tie, pointing them towards personal confidence and success. The examples of professional men teaching and affirming the characters throughout the book has transferable lessons for its readers.
