Ginger's Courage is a heartwarming rhyming picture book that follows Ginger, a football-loving pup with a passion for play. Whether rain, hail, or shine, Ginger lives for the game, dazzling everyone with her energy and skill. But after a tragic accident leaves her with only three legs, Ginger loses her confidence—and her joy. Through seasons of sadness and self-doubt, Ginger feels like giving up. That is, until she sees another dog embracing life with a missing leg too. Inspired, Ginger rediscovers her spark and shows that courage, determination, and self-belief are stronger than any setback.

Ginger's Courage is an inspiring and beautifully illustrated story about resilience, self-acceptance, and the power of getting back up after a fall.

A wonderful reminder that limitations don’t define us—our courage does.
