About the Book
Join Lois at her first real practice with her first real football team. From shoulder pads to stretching, tackling to scrimmaging, will it be as much fun as playing in the park with Dad?
Author/illustrator Richard Torrey once again captures the excitement and thrill of the first-time ball player, on the gridiron this time, as a team of young players prepare for and play their first scrimmage. Bright, friendly and matter-of-fact, A Football Story gently takes budding sports stars through every step.
Meet Lois!
Lois is a wide receiver for the D.C. Divas
In 2002, her dream somewhat came true as she began her football career with the Atlanta Leopards which was not quite the NFL but for her, even better - a league for all women at the highest level. She then joined the DC Divas in 2004 where she still plays today. The fear of a collision sport is not a factor as Lois has overcome several injuries including a broken ankle, tibia, fibula, toe, and 3 fingers among a host of other minor aches and sprains. Never wavering in her dedication to the sport and her determination to play, she always returned to the game quickly.
Lois Cook is a powerhouse when it comes to exposing the game of football for women. She is proudly a walking, talking advocate for women's football while also being a mom of four boys, Social Media Influencer, Professional Wide Receiver, and Vice President of the DC Divas.
She was hired as an assistant coach for her very own high school, Bethesda Chevy Chase in Bethesda, MD whose team went undefeated and was also selected from the WFA to attend the prestigious NFL Alumni Academy as a coaching intern in Canton, OH. Lois' career has been nothing short of exciting and is now completely dedicated to football.
