Take Your Shot is a powerful and uplifting 46-page paperback children’s book by internationally recognized coach and speaker Ganon Baker, with vivid illustrations by Ghyvari Gisymar.
Meet Little Reed, a young boy who loves basketball so much, he dreams about it. The only problem? He’s not the fastest, tallest, or strongest player on the court. After being rejected by older kids at the local park, Reed is faced with a choice: give up, or work harder than ever.
Driven by passion, family encouragement, and daily practice, Reed returns—again and again—until the moment comes when he’s finally invited to play. What follows is a heartwarming journey of courage, perseverance, and teamwork as Reed learns that taking your shot is about more than just basketball—it's about believing in yourself, standing your ground, and preparing for your moment.
This story encourages young readers to rise above rejection, embrace who they are, and give their best, on and off the court.
Perfect for: ages 5–10, families, youth athletes, coaches, schools, and anyone looking to inspire kids to persevere, build confidence, and chase their dreams.
