KIDS ARE OFTEN TOLD TO BE BRAVE, KIND, HONEST, AND PATIENT — BUT BIG FEELINGS CAN BE HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY STAY AS WORDS. LASSO’S WAY: DOORS TURNS THOSE FEELINGS INTO SOMETHING SIMPLE AND VISUAL: DOORS. EACH DOOR BECOMES A MOMENT IN GROWING UP — THE HEAVY DOOR FOR FEAR, THE TRICKY DOOR FOR TRUTH, THE REVOLVING DOOR FOR FRIENDSHIP, THE CRACKED DOOR FOR OPPORTUNITY, AND THE SLEEPY DOOR FOR PATIENCE. TOLD THROUGH TED LASSO’S WARM COACHING VOICE, THE BOOK USES FOOTBALL CULTURE, LOCKER-ROOM VISUALS, BOLD TYPOGRAPHY, AND TEXTURED ILLUSTRATION TO MAKE EMOTIONAL GROWTH FEEL PLAYFUL AND FAMILIAR. IT IS A STORY ABOUT HELPING CHILDREN BELIEVE THAT WHATEVER DOOR LIFE PUTS IN FRONT OF THEM, THEY ARE MORE READY THAN THEY THINK.
