Illustrated by
Geneviève Després.
Nine-year-old hockey-whiz Gabe dreams of wearing jersey 22 like her idol, Canadian hockey legend Hayley Wickenheiser. But a devastated Gabe gets 9. Gabe's grandmother reveals how she disguised herself as a boy just to play--and wore the same "lucky" number. The pep talk helps Gabe embrace her new jersey and appreciate her circumstances. Softly washed gouache illustrations complement the intergenerational tale's emotions.
