Description

A Touchdown for Ryley is the first in a series of books for early elementary school readers. Ryley is a precocious little girl with a can-do attitude who refuses to be defined by gender nominative behaviour and roles. She's just as comfortable donning a football jersey, shoulder pads, mouthpiece and helmet and barreling down a football field as she is pirouetting across the stage in a pink tutu at a ballet recital. There's no stopping that girl.
