In his first Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament, a young boy steps onto the mat filled with nerves. He doesn't always move the way others do. He doesn't always follow rules the way the world expects. But jiu-jitsu teaches him that his differences aren't weaknesses--they are what make him strong.

The Way I Win is about finding your place without having to fit in. Told through a lyrical, reflective monologue and brought to life with vivid, emotionally rich illustrations, this powerful picture book celebrates the quiet resilience of kids who move through the world in their own way.
