David Farkas’s Don’t Make Noise: Lose with Poise is a delightful and meaningful picture book that gently introduces young readers to the importance of handling setbacks gracefully. This engaging installment in the “A Child’s Guide Series” offers a lighthearted yet impactful lesson on resilience, sportsmanship, and self-growth. Through rhythmic storytelling and relatable scenarios, the book reassures children that feeling disappointed after a loss is normal but emphasizes that throwing tantrums and quitting are not the solutions. Instead, Farkas encourages readers to learn from their experiences, practice perseverance, and focus on the joy of doing their best.

Brittany Farkas’s vibrant illustrations add charm to the narrative, capturing emotions and playful moments with expressive details. Every page radiates energy, making the lessons engaging and enjoyable for readers. The story conveys an essential lesson about sportsmanship and teaches youngsters that sometimes they will lose, no matter what the competitive sport. Losing a game or championship can be devastating, but it’s not a reason to cry, scream, or give up. It’s important to learn from losses and know that doing one’s best makes everyone a winner. In today’s competitive world, Don’t Make Noise: Lose with Poise is a perfect read for any youngster involved with sports. It would make an excellent pre-game gift to read before a competition as a reminder to stay calm even when facing a loss. David Farkas created a valuable resource for parents and educators aiming to cultivate emotional intelligence and positive attitudes in children without being preachy. With its engaging message and captivating visuals, this book makes the path to sportsmanship enjoyable for all ages.
