Description
"Not only is this a fun and entertaining story, it also teaches wonderful life lessons just like the game of golf itself." —Mark Wahlberg
One, Two, Follow Through is the perfect book to introduce children to the game of golf while teaching the values of sportsmanship, inclusivity, and staying true to oneself! This bright and engaging story, starring Polly Pivot, is a fun yet challenging journey of discovery and inspiration. As she struggles (and eventually succeeds) in her golf lessons, Polly proves that the experience of learning is fun and rewarding if you follow your way all the way through.

What a wonderful inspiring story to share with any age really. Kids will relate to Polly Pivot as she evolves into a unique, aspiring golfer, her mantra being... One, two, follow through....
Polly Pivot models for kids that growing and learning along life's journey is not only fun but profitable if you hang in and follow your way through. The author shares this wonderful life lesson through her love of the game of golf. Her goal is to encourage kids to not get discouraged and quit but follow through in their daily lives in order to become the very best they can be.
I love the diverse characters, the theme of perseverance and the celebration of who you are created to be. The illustrations are full of emotion, activity, humour and extremely kid-friendly. I love them. The message is positive and uplifting and Polly Pivot is an excellent example for both young and old to emulate. I highly recommend this book.
