🏈 Bowen and the Bengals | A Flag Football Bedtime Story About Being Brave

Everyone on Bowen's street is packing away their skeletons. Bowen says skeletons are year round. He's about to find out he's right about more than skeletons. Five-year-old Bowen, known as Skelly at Maplewood Field, has a giant skeleton in his front yard wearing a Bengals jersey, and he is not taking it down. Today his flag football team plays the Aggies. They're undefeated, they're the biggest kids in the league, and everybody says the same thing: nobody beats the Aggies. By halftime the Bengals are down two touchdowns, and Bowen is standing way out on the side of the field, where the ball never comes. Then, behind a skeleton sitting in a lawn chair, a small skunk in a striped referee jersey has one quiet thing to say about the part of you nobody can see. A calm bedtime story about the brave that's already inside you, even on the days you can't feel it. 🏈 Feeling small next to the biggest team in the league 🦴 A yard full of friendly skeletons, silly and never spooky 🧣 Big sister Finley, a stick wand, and the "brave house" 👏 "Next play!" and what to do after you drop the ball 🍦 A swirl cone with rainbow sprinkles 🌙 Ends with glow-in-the-dark stickers fading on the ceiling, one by one A special welcome to tonight's Dream Players, Hudson and Andrew.
