Description: I Really Want to Win by Simon Philip is a delightful picture book that follows the story of a little girl who is determined to win every event at her school’s Sports Day. However, she quickly realizes that winning isn’t as easy as it seems—whether it’s a running race, tug-of-war, or even hide-and-seek. Through her journey, she learns an important lesson: the true joy lies not in the victory itself but in enjoying the activities and embracing the fun of participation. With humor and a meaningful message, the book encourages self-acceptance and prioritizing happiness over competition.
