2016
In Jeremy Johnson's "Rallo's Goal," young Rallo faces the daunting challenge of being the new goalie on his hockey team, a position made even more difficult by a persistent bully. As Rallo grapples with self-doubt and the fear of letting his team down, he also finds an unlikely ally in his loyal dog, who offers quiet encouragement. The story explores themes of courage, overcoming adversity, and the importance of standing up for oneself, even when it feels overwhelming.
