Allie's Basketball Dream

Repeatedly told that "basketball's a boy's game," a girl's confidence falters and then rebounds in this encouraging tale. Allie tries out her brand-new basketball, a gift from her father, at a city playground. Although she wants to be a professional player, first she has to get the ball in, and not even her girlfriends want to play.  Will Allie continue to play basketball?
