What people are saying about the books

Pickleball is so much more than a sport. The health benefits, friendships and connections are priceless -- just like what will find in Larry's books with the characters (he calls them" critters") he weaves into positive stories of family, community, love and encouragement." 
—Jennifer Lucore, professional pickleball player, global ambassador, 2019 Inductee into the Pickleball Hall of Fame, USA Pickleball Historian and author

This book has opened my children’s minds and imaginations. ​I read this to them every night, sometimes twice.
— Danielle Funk

Larry takes us to a new level with this simple and powerful story... you will be reminded how love and compassion are still two of the most powerful words we can express and live out to make a difference.
— Mitch Dunn, president & co-founder of Cincinnati Pickleball Club

It's a very good story that captures the heart because of its themes of kindness, inclusion, and love.
— Claude Corbitt

A fun, personal and inspirational story for children and the pickleball community. ”
— Rich "Jonesy" Jones, US Pickleball Association Ambassador
