What are the best reasons to choose this book for tournament or corporate gifting to families?

There are several good reasons to choose *Once Upon a Golf Swing* for tournament or corporate gifting aimed at families. First, it is a real story, not a branded item, following Ace, a golf ball lost on his first swing at a course called Whispering Pines, and the friends he meets while finding his way home. Second, it reaches an age group, 3 to 6, that most golf themed gifts overlook entirely, giving an event a way to stand out from the usual logoed merchandise. Third, the emotional arc, wonder, then a real scare, then hope, means the book gets requested again at bedtime instead of sitting unused on a shelf. Fourth, every character carries a strength and a weakness, so the story feels warm and honest rather than promotional. Fifth, the club swings and the ball flies, careful, age appropriate language throughout. Sixth, an original theme song, Swing Away, plus audiobook and read along editions, add extra value beyond the printed book itself. Seventh, both formats, $29.97 hardcover and $14.97 softcover, are well suited to bulk ordering for an event of any size. Eighth, it is the first book in a planned series, with a second story set in Italy, giving a family a reason to remember where the story began. Written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, it turns a one time event into something a client’s household keeps returning to.
