The Small Sports Are Back and Going for the Goal

Bloomfield Hills, MI, December 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Small Sports, a breakthrough brand for children, promotes the positive lessons that sports have to offer- such as teamwork, respect and good sportsmanship. After a successful 2013 debut of their first book, "The Small Sports Take The Field"; their second book, "The Small Sports Go For The Goal" is now available online and in select metro-Detroit retailers. An amazing feat for any growing small business, "Go For The Goal" has already garnered glowing endorsements from both Olympic gold medalist Julie Foudy and Super Bowl champion Jerome Bettis.

The Small Sports help children learn principles of teamwork and good sportsmanship through a line-up of five uniquely lovable characters. With big hearts and lots of determination, the little team takes children on exciting adventures while supporting the consistent theme of sports-related life lessons. The Small Sports’ adventure continues in "Go For The Goal," where the book will resonate with both parents and children through the classically illustrated pages that complement the engaging story lines.

The Small Sports are the creation of metro-Detroit based author Matthew Damman and illustrator Patty Eisenbraun, who saw a void in what was currently being offered to children. “We created The Small Sports characters to feel wholesome and age-appropriate,” said Matthew, who is also a father of two. “We’ve received a fantastic response to our first book, Take The Field, from parents, kids and educators. There is a definite need for laying a solid foundation of sportsmanship and respect, even at the youngest levels.”

The Small Sports Take the Field and Go For The Goal are available at www.thesmallsports.com, Amazon.com, The Detroit Shoppe at The Somerset Collection and at other select local retailers. For more information, please visit The Small Sports at www.thesmallsports.com.
