It's All in the Name

Hey L'il D! #1

by Bob Lanier, Heather Goodyear, Desire Grover (Illustrator)

Little Apple shoots and scores with these new early chapter books! Loosely based on NBA all-star Bob Lanier's childhood adventures, the series teaches valuable life lessons through amusing stories.

L'il Dobber has big feet. The other kids may laugh and call him nicknames, but L'il Dobber doesn't care. In fact, he's totally cool with his shoe size. He knows that one day he'll grow tall to match, and then his dreams of pro basketball will be solid.

In book #1, L'il Dobber and his friends all join together to help the new kid, Gan, find a cool nickname of his own. But when Gan gets stuck with a name he doesn't like, the gang's got trouble - until an unexpected twist turns everything around. Gan ends up a schoolyard hero, and he's found the best nickname of all.

This book is about a boy named L'il D, who has big feet. Throughout the book, L'il D is being picked on about his feet by a boy named Brooks. L'il D learns throughout this book about the importance of his name.

I love this book! Once I started to read it, I never put it down until I was finished with the whole book. It was so funny and had a couple of great lessons.

This book would be great in teaching young readers about showing people respect and living up to your name. This book would also be helpful in getting kids interested in reading.

First in the Hey L'il D series, this one addresses the line between teasing and bullying.
