Sports stories aren’t just about winning—they’re about teamwork, creativity, and finding your voice. In this Family Day conversation for middle grade readers, Gary Alipio, author of Craziest Cajun Football Tale, joins his daughter and illustrator Melina Alipio to talk about how sports stories come to life. The conversation explores how ideas turn into books and why sports can be a fun way to tell stories about friendship, fairness, and standing up for what you believe. This lively panel celebrates imagination, collaboration, and the joy of creating stories kids love to read.
