About this item
by Julia Wilder Banta (Author)
Hope and Harriet can do anything and everything together through the strength of their friendship, until one day.
Hope and Harriet's friendship is made of whispered secrets, giggles, and dreams. They pretend an imaginary world in which they can do anything and everything together.
Until one day at the park, Harriet is asked to join a basketball team, but Hope can only watch from her wheelchair.
Through the strength and determination of friendship, Hope and Harriet find a way to always do anything and everything together.
Hoop Dreams is a social-emotional learning story. It teaches readers the power of friendship and compassion through the diversities of race (Hope is Thai) and disability. Hope and Harriet express, individually and through friendship, the layers of loyalty, acceptance, perseverance, and teamwork. This story also highlights the abilities of those with disabilities.
