Kiwi and the Cricket Match — Children’s Ebook
Kiwi was supposed to be the team mascot…
not the reason they won the match.
It’s the big day at school, and Kiwi is ready - dressed in his cricket jumper and proudly supporting Gabriel’s team.
All he has to do is sit nicely and watch.
He doesn’t.
As the match begins, Kiwi quickly decides the game makes no sense at all — especially when no one seems interested in fetching the ball properly.
Soon, he finds something much more important to do… involving sandwiches, cream cakes, and a very good hiding place.
Unfortunately, it’s the wrong one.
He didn’t mean to cause any of it… and certainly didn’t set out to fix it — but somehow, everything works out anyway.
While Kiwi is busy solving his own problems, the match takes a turn - with one very noisy misunderstanding, a missed catch, and a moment no one sees coming.
Before long, Kiwi finds himself right in the middle of the game -covering the opposition in chaos, and turning everything around in the most unexpected way.
Kiwi and the Cricket Match is a UK children’s story told from Kiwi’s lovable dog’s-eye view, where curiosity and confusion send things slightly off track and everything finds its way back again.
A short, reassuring read, it follows a familiar rhythm: a moment that doesn’t quite go to plan, a burst of energy, and a happy ending that brings everyone together again.
