Summary:

A powerful and wise story about finding the courage to be yourself, despite the pressure to conform. Abtin is nothing like the rest of his family. The Moleskis are fiercely competitive sports champions, and they expect Abtin to become a great athlete too. But Abtin is a reader, an artist, and has his own way of doing things. Despite his family’s best efforts, Abtin remains stubbornly himself. Wanting his family to be proud of him, he comes up with a plan to make them a plan that doesn’t go quite as expected… Written and illustrated by two celebrated Iranian creators, Champ is a book for anyone who marches to the beat of their own for the artists in a science family, or the readers in a sports family. It is a book for those around the world who have resisted and continue to do so, no matter what.
