About Katie, Batter Up! by Coco Simon

Katie, Batter Up! follows Katie as she notices that her Cupcake Club friends all have activities outside baking. Mia and Alexis are on the soccer team, while Emma plays the flute. Katie begins to wonder what her own special activity should be.

She tries different sports and eventually makes the softball team. At first, that feels exciting. But once real games begin, Katie becomes nervous. She worries about making mistakes, letting the team down, and not being good enough.

This book is especially useful for young readers because it deals with a realistic issue: trying something new and feeling pressure to perform. Katie’s story gives children a gentle way to think about confidence, sports anxiety, friendship, effort, and discovering that the right activity should feel meaningful, not forced.
